Gemei Announces A320 - Cute GBA/3D MP4 Game Player

Posted by Raz in October 2nd 2008  

Gemei A320

So i just caught this little tid bit in a new press release Gemei released, looks like Gemei will be adding yet another gaming player, this time Gemei seems to have actually gone for a more traditional gaming machine design. There is little information about this player, but it is probably fair  to assume that this player will be pretty much the same (internally) to that of the Gemei X760+. Expect this player to be running on an Ingenic JZ4740 (400mHz) chip, which will be capable of Gameboy Advanced emulation, 3D game emulation and other older console emulation like seag, NES and old aracde games.

Gemeis only hint at price is that it will be cheap, they actually make the comparison on how the price and functionality of this player are far better than a Sony PSP, well i have a hard time swallowing that, but i guess seeing how a Sony PSP is very expensive for many people in China, this could end up being a good stylish alternative.

The A320 will probably have all the standard MP4 Player features (hi res video playback, multiple audio format support and TV out). Overall it does look like an interesting player, especially for its design, be it not at all original, its still a cleaner look than most Chinese MP4 makers tend to go for.

No word on release date, but i am guessing it will be probably be soon.

Interesting new Linux UMPC from China

Posted by Raz in September 26th 2008  

The Porient H12 is probably the first UMPC i have seen to come from China that will run on linux and allow for web surfing. The 4.3″ touch screen device will have wifi, GOS and its screen will have a crisp 800 x 480 resolution display. Wow i am impressed, however there is little else to show for its actual performance other than the nice photoshopped image (i am also pretty sure the broswer is Safari). It is good to see that some Chinese manufacturers are branching out to start utilizing linux based devices.

The oppo “twist” finally gets named

Posted by maderin1 in September 24th 2008  

This player from OPPO has caused a bit of a stir

Looks good eh! well at the start it had no name, but through a contest on the OPPO BBS one has been chosen

Introducing the MUSE

This is an actual live picture of the player

Now what strikes me is the fact the the stunning UI from the top pic has gone, and replaced by another bog standard, grid of icons, big shame.

Anyway, pop over to the forums and discuss this player, not yet released and full details are still not really available, but we will post as soon as we know anything, but knowing OPPO it will be well developed and procey

RAmos Q20 iLive Announced - Another CMMB Player

Posted by Raz in September 23rd 2008  

RAmos today announced another new additional to the Mumu product lineup, the Q20 iLive. The player, which isn’t touch screen (or at least the specifications make no reference to touch screen), is geared towards being a more compact CMMB (digital TV receiver) player.

We don’t really need to speculate too much on what chipset this will be using, much like all other CMMB players, this will most likely be using the Rockchip RK2706 chipset, as well as a 3.5? QVGA screen. Apart from the CMMB feature, the player will be able to play various audio and video formats and will be capable of support hi resolution videos.

Not much other information is yet available on this player, but it does seem the iLive is being made to mainly cater to those that want a more compact CMMB player, till now almost all CMMB players had a 4.3? screen. No price or release date has been given for this player yet.

What is this?

Its a free giveaway of accessories if you make just a video review of an MP4 Player that you have bought from MP4 Nation. It must be of a MP4 Player and it must have been bought through our site.

What do you need to do:

1. Make a video review of no less that 2 minutes long, in it you can give a review of how you find the player (good points and bad points), or maybe show a demonstration on how to do something partcular or show off a new theme etc.

4. Upload your video on Youtube and upload your video on a second video sharing site (like Dailymotion or Metacafe), any second sharing site will do.

Note: The video review does not have to be in English, can be in your native language, but the phrase MP4NATION.NET still needs to be heard. You can do a video review like i do, with your hands in front of the camera, or you yourself in front of the camera, be creative if you want.

The video can be of any MP4 Player (not just a Nationite brand name players) but must have been bought from here.

However if you do a video review of a Nationite S:Flo you can choose two of the above items.

How do i enter?

Design the Nationite F:Flo Logo - Win a Nationite F:Flo 8GB

Posted by Raz in September 21st 2008  

Yes we have a new player that we are going to stamp our old Nationite logo on and (probably no surprise to many), it will be the Onda VX525. So lets get the fun started, i can’t design for squat, so i am going to give all you great gaprhic artists out there to strut your stuff.

What is required:
A logo that will represent the F:Flo, there should be a symbolic logo (like the two waves for the S:Flo) and also the words F:Flo present in the design. Please do not include Nationite into the logo design. The design will have to go on the back of the player and on the box.

For the box the logo will go on top of the following background.

Image

Please keep in mind that the logo when printed will be done in a glossy print, so that it will stand out from the rest of the normal printed box. The logo needs to go on that square image for the box.

The logo will also go on the back of the player and will be printed in white on a black background. So please keep that in mind.

Keep the logo to one color (preferably white) and simple.

Please post below your entry, the winning entry will end to send me the graphics in a Adobe Photoshop PSD file.

To submit a logo, post in the following thread:

http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5672

If you want to ask questions relating to this contest, please use the following support thread:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5671

Please ONLY post below your graphic entry and a maximum of two graphic entries per person.

Last date of submission is September 23rd, i will pick a winner the next day.

SmartQ Tao - more information on main chipset

Posted by Raz in September 21st 2008  

SmartQ Tao has been rife with speculation for what main chip it would be using, initally the reports seems that it may use the same Samsung ARM chip that is to be used on the Meizu M8. It has now been confirmaed that the player will stick to the same ADI Blackfin chip used in the SmartQ T5-II, the ADI Blackfin BF547 chip.

This is actually not a big suprise, SmartQ is one of the very few MP4 player manufacturers to still favor using the more expensive American chipset, instead of the more commonly used Ingenic and Rockchip chipsets. The second generation Blackfin chip does have some serious power, so it will be well suited on a 3.3″ touch screen (with a screen res of 480*320).

Well this does look like one juicy little player. especially with SmartQs habit of making very nice looking user interfaces, you can be sure that this will certainly be one interesting player.

TAO - New Player From SmartQ in the works

Posted by maderin1 in September 19th 2008  

SmartQ are a Chinese MP4 company that take a slightly different route then the normal manufacturers out in China. While the others release a new player a month (no exaggeration ), SmartQ takes a more refined approach and only currently have 2 payers in their range, choosing to modify and update the player to achieve better results.

So when SmartQ announce a new player its big news, so here it is

The TAO

Rumors are rife as to what this player is and what it will do and one of the biggies is its choice of processor. SmartQ have been using the ADI BLACKFIN processor in the T5 range of players and have made good use of it, its more expensive then the usual Chinese fare but more powerful all round, but this time its rumored they will be using the same chip as Meizu have chosen for their up and coming power phone come player, the M8. Its from Samsung and may possibly be the Samsung S3C6410.

Specs as known so far

  • 3.3″ screen @ 480×320 (possibly touch but unconfirmed)
  • Button discretely around the 2 shorter sides of the player (so may not be touch screen)
  • Samsung S3C6410 processor (maybe)

More news to follow as soon as we know it, definitely one to watch as SmartQ take a lot of care and thought over their products, something some other Chinese manufacturers could learn from
