What you’re looking at above (more photos at the bottom) is from an artist’s imagination but the real thing. It’s the WINDOW G85HD and it’s got a user interface that even Apple snobs will envy. We don’t know if it works as smoothly as the iPod Touch but the “Touch Viva” is giving us gadget [...]

Finally, one of the most popular Transformers has a PMP named after him. After Rodimus Prime, Alphatrion and Megatron, Ainol has released a cute but very able PMP dubbed V6000HDK or Bumblebee. Some translators give you the name Hornet but the photo above leaves little doubt what Ainol is calling this HD player. The

After a couple of models from their MyRacer series (MyRacer Lisse T10), Lisse has now announced a more conventional-looking PMP. It’s also a HD player, supporting 720p videos. Curiously, it has a 5-inch WXGA or 1280×720 TFT LCD screen, similar in resolution to most 13-inch netbooks. In other words, you get to play the 720p [...]

The new 720p PMP from ONDA looks real shiny on a rendered photo, but like with many China-made portable media players the product photos do not always match with the actual hardware. At any rate the VX520 supports 720p videos. It only has a 3-inch LCD screen but you can always watch via HDMI out. [...]

You cannot take press photos from China literally. They almost always look impossibly good-looking. It’s not unusual to feel like they gave you the wrong model when you open the box. Newman’s new A18HD, a 720p player, is just such a device. Some press photos that came with the model’s announcement are nothing short of [...]

Yesterday, we came across the best PMP in its range. The RAmos T9HD is a 4.3-inch touchscreen player with 720p video support. Nothing fancy except the excellent 800 x 480 screen resolution and the fact that it’s a capacitive touchscreen. The demo video (link) of the UI leaves little doubt it’s going to be worth [...]

This is not the thinnest PMP we’ve featured but it’s pretty thin for a 720p player, especially if it functions well, and it looks like it would. The 3-inch LCD screen has a 400 x 240, not nearly good enough for 720p but you can connect it to a bigger screen with TV out. If [...]

For all the talk about HD PMP player, we have yet to see a portable with enough screen resolution to play HD videos without being connected to a bigger screen, until now. The Japanese (surprise, surprise) will have first dibs of this magical device with the 4.3-inch 1280 x 720p LCD screen. Yes the Harrods [...]

We rarely hear of a firmware update for a cheap Chinese PMP. Benss has recently announced one for the iCool BX-96 gamer with good reason. The BX-96 looks sleek, despite the PSP looks. The new firmware update, which can be uploaded from Benss site, gives the BX-96 a new 3D user interface. My Chinese is [...]

Newman’s (Newsmy) 720p HD portable media player seems to be the most complete HD player out of China. It has a 4.3-inch screen and an 8.8mm form factor in luscious metal. Sure, it only boasts 720p, unlike the 1080p trend nowadays, but it makes up for the lower resolution support with a bigger 16GB capacity [...]
