Newman MoMo media player measures up at 10mm thick

While we're running thin on details about this new Newman MoMo media player, we can tell you that the word on the street in China is that it's quite slim at 10mm (0.39 inches) for a player with 320 x 240 resolution, plus support for AVI, ASF, MPEG, VOB, WMV, MTV, DAT, MP4, MPG, and the normal group of still formats. Not even our buddies at Engadget Chinese were able to locate a price nor availability for this one, but we hope that no matter what, it comes wrapped in bear fur, as shown in this photo.

Is there a Samsung SGH-300 under the hood, or what ?

[deepsync @ Nov 23rd 2006 3:50PM]

You're right, this looks loke an SHG-P300. May we can use our leather battery pack for that baby...

[Rohit Kapur @ Nov 23rd 2006 4:32AM]

There's a typo there that I won't mention.

And that better be artificial bear fur.

I just don't get... How you can watch videos on screens that small?? I mean I appreciate the fact that you can do it portably when travelling and all, but still!! It's just not for me...

[kadajawi @ Nov 23rd 2006 5:46AM]

Yeah, the screen is a bit small, but for the occasional video podcast I think it's enough. Wouldn't want to watch movies on it, but I prefer HD anyway.

Looks somewhat decent.

Anyone else notice that the promo picture has the movie playing while in "tall" mode? The hell kind of screwed up aspect ratio would that be? Shouldn't it show the video in "wide" mode?

[strider_mt2k @ Nov 23rd 2006 7:42AM]

You kids had BETTER get that stuff off of the cat or so help me there won't be any new DAPS for ANYBODY!!!

[Archie @ Nov 23rd 2006 8:06AM]

I think the reason that you can't find price or availability details is because it's a hoax. This is just a picture of the Samsung phone. Even the directional button is identical. Why would you have a movie play portrait. Wrong all wrong I tells ya.

[Rob @ Nov 23rd 2006 8:07AM]

I call shenanigans on this...I have a Samsung P300, and this is a ps of that phone...same to part, same d-pad, etc.

[dxn3585 @ Nov 23rd 2006 8:19AM]

shit, this is nice, very retro looking, just like the samsung cellphone, was it samsung?,that looked like the retro calculators.

@ocdude, i think that's just dvd cover art.

[Aaron @ Nov 23rd 2006 9:14AM]

Some people also refer to 10 mm as 1 cm...

And come on guys, that doesn't even look like a movie playing, it's obviously just the poster/cover art, like dxn3585 said.

[mark burban @ Nov 23rd 2006 9:20AM]

hmm.. no price, no product located, dodgy aspect ratio? could this all be the work of photoshop?

muuuaaahhahahaa...

wtf?

[d @ Nov 23rd 2006 9:56AM]

I'm with Rob, I have a P300 too. That's a Photochop. Same speaker, same directional button, though I can't see the battery cover release switch

[Scooter @ Nov 23rd 2006 10:21AM]

surely that's bat fur?

[Timus @ Nov 23rd 2006 10:57AM]

I put a movie on my Motorola Q at 320x240 and after about 5 minutes of it I'm like "Screw it!!" It looks ok but unless you're really bored it's hard to sit there and watch a tiny movie.

[Matt @ Nov 23rd 2006 11:11AM]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
