Well, well, well… We should’ve let our fingers do more walking via the search engines before posting the semi-exciting news about Gemei’s X660 HD player being made available by an eBay retailer. The Ainol V3000 plays 720p videos too: here’s our previous post. Just to recap, the V3000HD, which no ordinary MP4 player: 4.3-inch 800 x [...]
