At first glance the Chuwi PHG gaming PMP looks pretty cool. It also looks like a redesigned PSP. The Chuwi PHG will play a variety of games, anything from 8-bit NES titles to GameBoy, 16-bit games from the SNES and MegaDrive and even some 64-bit games.
Of course you’ll have to find ROMs for all these games. Some other features include 720p support, TV Out, and it supports a bunch of audio and video file formats. You also get 4GB of internal memory. All for $73.

Aldi’s iPod Nano Clone is Quite Cheap
For the equivalent of $43 British residents can enjoy their very own iPod Nano clone. It doesn’t have a camera but take it from us, a $43 Nano clone is cheap, especially if it really looks like that i. The Nono, an iPod Nano clone with camera, will set you back $55. If you want cheaper than the Aldi’s nano clone, take a look at some of the choices:
The Aldi’s Nano clone does not have a camera but there’s an FM tuner, though video support is limited to AMV. The battery lets you play video for 3 hours or music for 3 hours. Not much battery life but you get 3-year warranty.

RAmos T8HD Photo Review - Touch Screen, Cover Flow and More!
The RAmos T8HD is a player with a similar face, well interface, the T8HD is basically a 4.3″ version of the T11RK, it literally uses the very same user interface. There is one other change in the hardware from the T11Rk, the T8HD only has a 480 x 272 resolution screen, the T11RK has a 800 x480 resolution screen.
The T8HD use the same body design as the older RAmos T8, there really is no difference between the two, even their weight is almost identical, however the quality of the actual screen seems to be better, even though its only 480 x 272 resolution, images do look nice on the 4.3″ screen and it has fairly decent viewing angles.
The UI is exactly the same as we saw on the RAmos T11RK, so you can expect nice kinetic scrolling as well as album art music browsing. The T8HD has the RK2806 media processor at its core, so it is capable of support videos upto 1280 x 720 resolution and supports AVI, FLV, MKV and RMVB video formats, it also supports MP3, WMA, FLAC and APE audio formats.
Overall the RAmos T8HD is a nice touch screen player with a very interactive and attractive UI.

Ainol V6000HDK Another Transformer has landed - Enter Bumble Bee
Well who wouldn’t have guessed that Ainol only compact sochip player would be nick named Bumble Bee, you would at least have expected there to be a yellow colored version! 
The V6000HDK looks to run on a Sochip processor and will be capable of support multiple video formats, including MKV, upto a 1920 x 1080 (take that claim with a pinch/bag of salt). I suspect that this player is being released to compete against Onda’s VX520 compact player, but there is no word if the V6000HDK will also come armed with HDMI out port.
No release date given, but the 4GB will only be about USD$44 (RMB$299).

New Touch Screen Chuwi P7 - Telechips 8901 processor & Flash UI
Chuwi contact us today with the news that they will be having some new players coming out. At first i had hoped it would be news about their new linux based MID that i was informed about sometime ago, but it was infact news on another Telechips 8901 based player. The P7 looks to be on the same lines as the RAmos T11TE and the Teclast T56, it looks to have a 5.0″ touch screen and a user interface that will be based around Flash. This is certainly a good thing as it means the UI will be much nicer and far more interactive than what we normally see from similar non flash based touch screen players.
We can also expect there to be an HDMI port on the player and it will support 1080p video playback and 1080p video out. There really isn’t much additional information, I will update when i get more.

ONN V2 MP3 Player Mimics Iriver E30
With a passing resemblance to the iRiver E30, the ONN V2’s bare looks are likely to divide opinion.
On its side though is the slim 6.8mm width and its ability to play MP3, WMA and WAV audio for up to 30 hours.
Working against it is fact it offers video playback on the dodgy looking 1.5 inch screen. Probably best stick to music with this one.
Price and date TBA.

News of the iRiver E30 hitting China went down quite a storm, and we weren’t even sure whether to expect a US release. The fate of the player with its infamous 52-hour-capable battery has become just that much clearer.
iRiver’s latest device has been spotted on shopping giant, Amazon. Both the 4GB and 8GB versions are available for $59 an $79 which are within our expectations of the $66 that we had previously estimated. No sign of the 2GB version, but that should arrive within time…

PNIX SD MP3 Player Does 16GB SD Cards and is Cheap (?)
Phoenix or PNIX produces low-cost MP3 players. PNIX SD is only their second product and either my translator is having an off-day right now or one of these PNIX SD MP3 players are only really 14,900 won (or about $13). Only nine bucks for a Korea-made MP3 player! Talking about cheap electronics! And we thought dirt cheap MP3 players are exclusive to China. But wait, earphones sold separately for 9,900 won or about $9. Which makes our PNIX SD player a $21 gadget if you want a fully working MP3 player. Warning, even in Korea, first read the fine print.

iRiver E30 released with specs confirmed
I’m sure you remember the irresistible iRiver E30, the player that caught our eye with its whopping 52 hour audio playback ability. The player, reminiscent of the iPod nano and the cousin to the iRiver E50, is hitting Chinese retailers as we speak.
Not only do we have the latest photos, but we can confirm some of the features incorporated into the device that were previously unknown.
The device will be available in three different storage capacities: 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. If you’re still a fan of radio, the E30 includes an FM tuner. Not only can the player record broadcasts, but one of our sources informs us that it can ‘record videos’ too. Lastly, we can’t forget about the photo viewer.
The player includes a MiniUSB interface for music transfer and a 3.5mm audio jack for your favorite headphones.
No word if we should expect a stateside release. As such, no word on price; however, the player will retail in Israel for 250 New Israeli Shekels (or ~$66).

RAmos T11TE, best from RAmos Before Christmas
That’s the best HD PMP from the RAmos company. It’s a little pricier than what you’d usually pay for a China MP4 player, too. The RAmos T11TE is a logical next step from the 720p RAmos T11 player. It supports 1080p playback, which some people know as full HD playback. There are several other significant improvements from its predecessor:
Ownta sells the 16GB at $177.45 including shipping and gives users warranty and online support The complete list of RAmos T11TE specifications and a video demo of the player after the break. (Notice that despite the nifty marker-type stylus, finger input is totally supported.)

You know you're on to something when most other people clone your device or steal your idea, and the entire iPod range has fallen victim to cloners of China over the past few years due to the immense popularity of the original portable media player, and this is a trend that doesn't seem to let up. This clone of the iPod nano comes with a 2.2' LCD display alongside a built-in VGA camera, supporting popular audio and video gile formats. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a memory card slot to augment the rather paltry 2GB internal memory. At least when you get bored of your limited number of tunes, you can always tune in to the local radio stations via its integrated FM radio.
Chinese-based company Haier has recently released their first touchscreen portable media player ‘Theatre’ for the US market.

The 4GB and 8GB versions are priced at $90 and $100, respectively. [Product Page]

Newman have released sizes and prices now, as well as some other handy facts.

Its 16 million colour LTPS screen plays back 720P video and supports RM, RMVB, AVI and FLV with TV-Out.
Audio’s all the regluars and has software rendered 3D sound, a text reader, photo browsing and more.
