Although
Thomson's V888 isn't apt to make any calls, it sure slides with the best of 'em. This interestingly designed
portable media player maximizes screen space by relocating the full gamut of controls beneath the display, and with all that space for buttons, we're delighted to see a control pad layout for playing any built-in games. Additionally, this unit packs a four-inch display, supports MPEG1/2/4,
DivX, MP3, WAV, WMA, ASF, DAT, MOV and a host of other formats, includes an image / text viewer, and even does video out. You'll also find a removable battery,
voice recording capabilities, and an SD expansion slot for loading up media. No word on pricing or availability at the moment, but click on for a few more snapshots of this unique device.

LOL, Personal Amusement Terminal??? Besides the really bad acronym, it sounds like something that arrives on your doorstep in a nondescript plain brown wrapper from Adam and Eve. :D
P.A.T. that's a pretty standard acronym, is it not?

Yep. Look at those buttons. I wonder if it's got some linux up in there.

This would probably be in the Keepin' it Real Fake had the iRiver G10 ever been release. Now Chinese companies are copying vaporware designs.

The iRiver G10 is still on schedule, whenever that maybe
Why do they make them with so little memory, f***tards ?!
With memory being so cheap but so expensive before isn't this a cheap and irresposible way to increase your profit margin... I wish they would pass on the benifits to us consumers as well. Cool concept, I was never really one for leaving fingerprints all over the screen I was trying to watch.
where do you buy on of these
>where do you buy on of these
Shanghai, Metro station Xu Ja Hui, Digital Plaza #2 (Exit 9 or 11),
ask for "PMP plus Game", price ~1200 RMB.
With a second battery and a 1GB Transcend SD card, a couple of days ago I paid RMB 1350. Too much, I guess... :-)
