RAmos joins the party with its V100 all-in-one PMP

The handheld conglomerate market must be booming in China, as RAmos is getting in on the action with its very own V100. Similar to all the renditions that came before it, this do-it-all portable renders all sorts of still photos, and plays back MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, and FLAC on the audio side, while playing nice with MPEG3, XviD, and DivX on the video end. For a dash of retro gaming, it supports NES / SNES emulation, as well as "flash games and animations." Powering this sleek machine is a 200MHz Freescale CPU, which is surrounded by a 2.5-inch 320 x 240 resolution LCD, Philips UDA1380TT audio decoder, built-in microphone, dual headphone jacks, an SD slot, and a potent Li-ion cell that reportedly lasts "up to 10 hours." Additionally, RAmos supposedly tosses in a pair of Sennheiser MX500 earbuds to round out the package, and somehow charges just 700 CNY ($89) for the 512MB version, and 800 CNY ($102) for the 1GB edition.

what the h3ll why cant cool things like this come out in the US? I mean in differnt colors of course...

[Dave @ Nov 8th 2006 8:57PM]

Hell, I like the color. It would match my car....

Finally something to get excited about. For $100 that's a perfectly cool little thingy. Give it cell phone capability and ramp up the memory enough to carry more than just 1 or 2 flicks, and I'd pony up twice that asking price...

By the way, are there any other gadgets like this that can play Flash movies? It's breathe new life into the Flash animation market, which is exciting for me since I'm an animator.

[ceaseoleo @ Nov 8th 2006 10:21PM]

Is there built in wi-fi -- how can it do flash games, if it doesnt have wi-fi

a.)where can I order one?

b.)how am I supposed to play SNES games with no X or Y button? :(

MPEG-3? Are you sure? MPEG-3 is used at very high bitrates and is basically useless because MPEG-2 gets the same results. Did you mean MP3 (MPEG-1 Part 3 Layer 3)?

Also, instead of saying Xvid and Divx, couldn't you just say MPEG-4 ASP? There are a lot of other encoders supported, besides Xvid and Divx, which are not listed (all of them are MPEG-4 ASP).
