Teclast readies dashing C280 all-in-one PMP

Although Chinese DAPs have a way of knocking off the big boys and not really adding anything in the innovation department, Teclast's C280 continues to shake the stereotype by offering up a bevy of swank features combined with a design that's easy on the eyes. The natural successor to the C260, this flavor maintains the overall style and design as its less-spec'd sibling, but adds a Rockchip 2608A and Wolfson WM8750S "dual core" element, as well as touting sound quality similar to that found on the more expensive T29. Moreover, you'll find a 2.4-inch QVGA display, MP3 / WMA / AVI file support, an FM tuner, line-in recording, various games, text viewer, 2GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot for any excess media. The pocket-friendly C280 also manages a respectable battery life (around 12 hours), USB 2.0 connectivity, and should only cost you about $65 when it lands later this month.

Looks like my Meizu M6. They go for the same price, except they come in 8GB too.

Meizu also has a 20 hour battery life, not a mere 12.

Interesting, especially for that price. How's the AVI playback? Decent?

[RoboDan @ Mar 16th 2007 11:46AM]

excellent, actually. Meizu also has a compression program so a 2h movie is 200mb down from 700mb. It really does the trick.

Apple ... Innovative ... my Arss.

Amelicans don't innovate no more... corporate fat cat got 'em.

$65?

Exactly where is this player going to "land" in a month? They always seem to leave that part out. The US? Europe? Korea?
