The PSP Go clone above may get you in hot water at Sony, but between just you and me, I think I’d prefer the $84 PXP-2000 over the $250 PSP Go. But you’re thinking, for that amount of money, surely I won’t be getting too much. You’d be wrong. For one thing, besides supporting an entire [...]

China is very fond of portable gamers, especially those with NES/ SNES emulation, but this new mystery gamer from Chuwi seems likely to blast the portable gamer industry wide open. Is this Chuwi’s PSP-killer. There’s talk about 720p support and up to 64-bit game support. There’s even a possibility that the new Chuwi gamer will [...]

While Akihabaranews is good enough to note Chinavasion’s CVFH-N03-4G PMP and NES emulator, we are more impressed by this player, especially its $50 price tag. It’s an MP4 (24fps) and MP3 player (complete specs below) with a 1.3 MP camera and NES support. It also supports BIN, SAV gaming formats. It’s a really cheap NES [...]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a name yet. Shape and size it’s actually quite distinct even for a generic PMP-gamer. Specs include a 2.4-inch screen, 25fps 320 x 240-pixel playback for 3GP, AVI (native) and MPEG 4, 3GP, WMV, Quicktime (with conversion) and your basic MP3, WAV, WMA audio files. At the back is a 1.3 [...]

Taijia may have been looking to compete with Sony’s PSP but what came out of their design lab was something else altogether.

The iRiver W7 will be struggling to compete with lower-priced MP4 players. There are a number of 3-inch PMPs that go for less than 1,000 yuan but the WVGA 480 × 272-pixel screen of the W7 will be hard to beat. The W7 is not an NES, SNES emulator but the built-in Adobe Flash [...]
