Aigo's Patriot MP-F986 digital audio player

Chinese manufacturer Aigo has let loose a new digital audio player in its home country, the Patriot MP-F986. Weighing in at just 1.5 ounces in a pocketable 2.6 x 1.85 x 0.6-inch form, this one's available in both 512MB and 1GB varieties -- each packing a 160 x 128 OLED screen for some pint-sized AVI viewing -- and supports MP3, WMA, and OGG files on audio front; you're also getting voice recording and an FM radio for good measure, because, you know, to be an iPod killa you gotta load up on the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any word on pricing just yet, though we wouldn't recommend holding your breath for the F986 to show up on this side of the Pacific.

Duuude, I LOVE that thing! Why don't we ever get stuff like that over here in the States??? I'd definitely consider picking one up.

Wow, this is one nice & fashionable gadget to stash with.

But, the downside perhaps may be the unintelligible chinese characters... :P how can i just decipher that?
