RAmos T11 8GB 5″ touchscreen PMP pricedrop

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

The RAmos T11 RK is now available for a measly $119.90/€81.84 at allPMP. Pretty damn cheap for this 8 GB media player with a 5″ 800×480 touchscreen that’s even capable of running Android. Besides that, it’s simply the most sexy PMP from China.

Update: The T11 RK has a Rockchip instead of the Texas Instruments Ti DaVinci chipset in the original RAmos T11. The newer version is not capable of running Android. Thank you Dima!

HD-Media Player gives new meaning to 720P

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

There is one thing you always have to keep in mind if you want to order something from China: read literally every character of the decription. Read it twice. Hell, don’t even trust the description: try to get the specs directly from the manufacturer. Although most webshops try really hard to prevent you from doing that by not mentioning the real product name. This way it’s harder to find other places that sell the same products. Take the ‘Memory Card and Flash Drive Media Player for TV‘ (you gotta love those titles) for example with the following description:

Coming with composite and component connections, the CVHV-E43 lets you watch high definition (720P) and standard definition movies and videos shows straight from SD cards and USB flash drives on your television.

A nice little media player priced at $31.34/€22.10 that plays 720P videos! It just seemed simply too good to be true. And it was:

Product Notes

  • 720P = 720×576
  • Product Notes
    720P = 720×57Product Notes
    720P = 720×5766

    Ahhh, so it’s 720P (720×576) instead of 720p(1280×720). Quite clever, Chinavasion! Still a far cry from high definition though. But if you’re still stuck in the good ol’ standard definition era, it seems like a reasonable buy.

    The player is also known as the OnlyTek OT-RM02 HD Media Player.
