Unboxing

Ramos T11TE unboxing video

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

What is the first thing you do when you receive a new gadget? Of course, you got to shoot one of those unboxing videos that nobody asked for but everybody loves to see. The Ramos T11TE comes in one of the ugliest boxes I’ve ever seen, but luckily the first impressions of the device are pretty good.  So far, this 5″ touchscreen PMP plays everything I throw at it, including 1080p HD videos. Not bad for a device that costs a mere $148.99/€109.73. Our friends at AllPMP even included a whole bunch of free accessories, more than listed on the product page (I received two screen protectors and a silicone case). Anyway read on to watch the unboxing video and stay tuned for the full review.

SmartQ 5 unboxing video and first impressions

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

So far, so good. The SmartQ 5 arrived in a slick and solid box. Nothing too fancy, but it will make sure the device will survive a long flight from China.  Build quality of the MID is quite decent. The SmartQ 5 doesn’t sport the chrome edges pictured on the box, so it doesn’t have that iPod Touch knockoff look. The default OS is a bit sluggish, but is still pretty usable for most tasks. I ordered it from Allpmp.com for $154.90/€109. Full review coming soon and some photos after the break.
