Teclast kicks out sleek C260 do-it-all for Chinese market

Teclast is keeping things fresh with its latest style-conscious DAP / PMP / gaming handheld, the C260. Joining the growing fray of Chinese all-in-one wonders, this sexy machine boasts a 3.15- x 1.85- x 0.39-inch enclosure, 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen, landscape layout, built-in FM radio tuner, audio input for recording, headphone jack, USB 2.0 connectivity, and eight pre-loaded equalizer functions. Aside from playing nice with MP3 / WAV on the audio side, it also reportedly supports XviD, DivX, and AVI on the video front, while displaying JPEG slideshows and simple text files on the side. Additionally, it purportedly features some sort of "gaming" functionality in case the tunes loaded on your microSD card get stale. So if you've been craving a do-it-all device that remarkably resembles LG's Chocolate handset, the 1GB C260 should be hitting the Chinese streets soon for just 399 CNY, or about $51.

Interesting gadget we got here. Hmm, let's see...

Zune + Chocolate + Front Row slash Playstation 3 interface

How original! Oh wait, this is a Chinese brand

I think this is very original..not only is it a collaboration of many different devices in a relatively small size but its amazingly cheap..all i wanna know is if it comes with more memory or maybe a normal sd card slot

isn't that an antenna/signal strenght icon, two spots to the left of the iTunes mini icon?? like those of such things as "m0bile phonez"? Tell me that is NOT for mere FM radio purposes!!

(Of course it is, >sad

Just wondering, if you actually can get someone to bring one of these back from China. Do these kind of devices usually have an English interface as well if u buy em there? Or are they just Chinese? Cause then they would be quite impractical to use...

Looks nice.

[John @ Dec 27th 2006 5:48PM]

How is it that some chinese ripoff stuff gets the "keepin' it real fake" treatment while other stuff doesn't?

[Chris @ Dec 27th 2006 9:04PM]

That's an 'iTunes mini icon'?

Do you likewise believe that iPods are the only 'real' MP3 players?

Has no chance against the Sansa

[kombizz @ Dec 28th 2006 10:46AM]

I would like to have one.
Where can I buy it?

[nightryder21 @ Dec 28th 2006 2:00PM]

The lovechild of a Zune and a Choclate?

Interested in writing a review for the C260?
If you have any experience in writing or if you have written any other reviews or articles send some links to [e-mail]

I can send over a C260 worldwide.

Looks good. Does anyone know if these will be available for sale online and international? Or is it only going to be available in China. For the price, it looks really good

Il try my hand at writing if it helps me get my hands on this!

I'm having one shipping over from China.

These are not sold international, and the menu is only in Chinese.

I don't read Chinese myself, but I'm hoping I'll figure it out somehow.
