If you ever wanted a PMP player that can play game, read e-book, watch video and listen to music, this player might just be the one you’re looking for. For a start, the player is like a little transformer owning to the fact that there’s a game pad that can be fixed onto the player itself.
Comes with a built in emulator that will not only play emulated NES/Famicom games, but also Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and even Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Games. To give users a better feel of playing their game, a game pad can actually be fixed to the player itself. On top of it’s built in emulator , it boast quite a couple of functions such as the e-book read back function and video capability.
Here are the features at a glance:
- 2GB internal memory
- 3 Inch LTPS TFT Screen
- 16:9 Widescreen Aspect Ratio
- AVI format digital movie player
- SD card slot to expand memory to a further 4GB
Although there’s no price mentioned for the PMP player from Chinavision, it stated that it will come with an unbelievably low wholesale price. My take on this it’s a decent player but I’m not too sure about the E-Book read back part.

Probably not many people have heard of this handheld console named GP2x f-200 (neither have I) but according to Technabob, it actually have quite a huge underground following. One of the main reason its because of its ability to run home brew games and emulators.
I’m quite a fan of classic games and it’s always nice to see handheld consoles offering the capability to load them.
Let’s dive a little into this touchscreen (it’s more of a standard than requirement these days) console:
- Color: White
- Touch screen interface
- 8-way digital pad
- Multi-tasking functionality: enjoy music while reading e-books or browsing photos
- 3.5 inch LCD screen with 320*240 (30 frames) resolution
- Simple and convenient e-book viewer
The console will come packed with in built games and it’s expected to be loaded with 5 new titles when the console is launched in Oct, 2007. Be sure to check out Play-Asia for further updates if you’re interested in getting one.

If you’ve always love playing classic ROM games, you might want to consider taking a look at the OneStation mini console. Design is clearly not a strong feature of the console but its main features is its capability to emulate a variety of classic 8-bit and 16-bit console games.
The console is supported by triple A battery and it has a 320 x 240 resolution color LCD display. There’s even a TV-out feature to hook up your unit to the TV and it has even been reported that future release will be pack with wireless multi-player, digital camera, and portable TV capabilities.
The console is packed with games that are misspelled (maybe for some reason), such as the ‘Hally Poter Goblet of Fire, Beanty and the Beast, Tom and Jirry, Ninja Tutles and Marblr Madness’.
If you want the joypad feel while playing the games, then you might want to get the mini console over at Deal Extreme where it costs around $38.59.

Wii Fit will make a debut later this year in Japan (and in 2008 in the States) and the price will be set a the affordable range as Wii games are at.
The Wii Fit seems to be pretty cool and I wonder if there would actually be any decent soccer games that will come along with it. Rumour has it that the Wii/Wii Fit combo might retail for around $250 with the debut of Wii Fit and we certainly hope that it will be the case.
