The Ramos W7 was announced somewhere late in 2009 and after countless delays, it’s finally released. It’s probably one of the most anticipated devices from China. The specs look good on paper: a 4.8″ capacitive touchscreen, Android and 8 or 16GB internal memory all for a relative low price. Read on to find out if it can live up to the expectations.
After months of delays, the Ramos W7 has finally arrived. The Ramos W7 is a mobile internet device running Android with a 4.8″ 800×480 capacitive touchscreen. As usual, here is the unboxing video first and the full review will be up soon.
Those looking for a small, slick and affordable PMP might want to have a look at the Ainol V7000HDK, the smaller brother of the impressive V9000HDA. The Ainol V7000HDK sports a 3″ 400×240 screen, has tv-out and 4GB of flash memory, which can be expanded using micro-SD cards. With a price of only $44.99/€36.36 (worldwide shipping included) at ChinaBuye, this player is quite a bargain.
Ever since the day the Dingoo A320 was released, the Chinese market is flooded with portable game consoles. Most of them are able to emulate games from classic game consoles and do some media playback, but weren’t able to gain the popularity of the A320. However, the Letcool N350JP seems to be a pretty decent contender. It basically looks like a single screen Nintendo DS and comes with two small gamepads. This might seem silly for a portable device, but it also features a TV-out port and what’s more awesome than a two player game of Contra, Bubble Bobble or Street Fighter II on a boring flight? It’s also quite cheap, costing only $71.25/€58.39 at ChinaVasion. Peep the device running Doom after the break.

The SmartQ R7 is the latest mobile internet device in the popular SmartQ series. While still called a MID, it’s obvious that Smart Devices put their focus more on eBook reading with the SmartQ R7. The R7 both adds and loses some functionality compared to the other (cheaper) SmartQ devices. Read on to find out if they still stepped up their game of if you should stick to the older MIDs.

There are only a few days left until the world’s biggest sport event breaks loose: the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. All markets are already flooded with merchandising, but now we also have this beautifully designed football shaped phone from FocalPrice for $91.56/€75.32. The chances of me ordering this phone are about as big as those of Holland winning the world cup: we never won that one. GO HOLLAND!
Yes, it’s another Windows tablet with mediocre specs: 8.9″ 1024×600 touchscreen, 1.2GHz VIA C7-M processor, 1GB memory. However, the attachable leather case with a built-in keyboard looks rather slick and useful. It’s something that a lot of other devices could use (sorry peeps, touch typing just doesn’t cut it for me). You can get the PC819 for a pretty hefty $471.23/€387.68 at ChinaBuye.
After my good experiences with the other SmartQ devices, I decided to get the SmartQ R7 from AllPMP for $258.99/€207.32. First impressions are decent. The SmartQ R7 is a more accessible device for the average user, but loses some functionality in the process. Anyway, enjoy the unboxing video until the full written review is up.
Hooray, another PMP review. This time it’s the Ainol V9000HDA, a media player with a 4.3″ 800×480 touchscreen, 1080p video playback, FM radio / transmitter and a rather slick design. Read on to find out if it can hang with the other portable players from China.

Here is another unboxing of a portable media player from China. This time it’s the Ainol V9000HDA, boasting a 4.3″ 800×480 touchscreen. I got mine from HouseOfDAP for $136 with free worldwide shipping. It’s also available from AllPMP for $128.99, but if you add the shipping costs, it will cost a bit more although you get some free accessories. So far, the Ainol V9000HDA is the slickest looking device I received from China, even the box looks nice. Expect a full review in the days to come.
