China produces V191 all-in-one PMP / cellphone

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 6th 2006 at 10:51AM

While there are plenty of all-in-one DAP/PMP/gaming units out in the Chinese market, the V191 takes it to another level by tossing in phone functionality and a PSP-styled enclosure to boot. A very likely candidate for Keepin' it real fake, this handheld device comes in a tad shorter than the tried and true PSP, and replaces the unmistakable "PSP" logo with "FUN." While details on this dodgy unit are far and few between, it apparently accepts any SIM card for mobile use, sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, supports MP4 / MP3 playback, and even boasts a gaming function for a bit of 8-bit reminiscing while on the go. You can store your tunes, movies, and homebrew apps on the included 256MB microSD card, or toss in a larger one for those extra lengthy trips. Assuming you can find one, the V191 is reportedly going for a whopping HK$5400 ($695) overseas.

Looks like a fake screenshot to me. There is no timer counting down in the upper right; the score is 0, which wouldn't be the case if you got the mushroom (it gives you 1000 points) and that part of the map on 1-1 has an enemy between the two pipes. It isn't there in the screenshot, perhaps indicating that the player already killed it. Again, not possible with a score of 0!

I'm with you on that one, but having said all that you have, why would anyone go out of their way to fake a Super Mario Bros. screenshot when it's so easy just to 1: go on the net and grab one, or 2: take a snapshot yourself with an emulator?

Anyway, for $695 I think I'd rather have a PS3 and a game than a cellphone that plays 8-bit goodness.

Quite funny look and the price is ... absolutely not over $600... (can't remeber exactly... $400 sth?... )
