China's Wistar rolls out A1 PMP

China's Wistar has tossed yet another entry into the flood of PMPs coming out of the country these days, with its new A1 model seemingly doing little to distinguish itself but packing some decent specs all the same. This one keeps things fairly small with a 3-inch, 16:9 display, along with support for MP3, WMA and WAV audio and Xvid video at 320 x 240 and 20fps (DRM9, too). Otherwise, you'll get the usual FM radio and SD card slot, as well as a built-in speaker and microphone, which we presume also means a voice recording feature. No word on what it'll cost, but you (or your company looking to rebrand them) will apparently be able to pick one up in your choice of 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB varieties.

OMG! I can't believe they stole the design from the iPhone! Those bastards! Any thing that has a screen and a silver side is iPhone property!!

I agree with the above post. This thing defintely is an iPhone knock-off. When will companies learn that anything that is rectangular, has a screen and has a silver/chrome side is a rip-off of the iPhone.

Yep.

My Sony Clie' TH55 ripped it off years before it even arrived!

Total rip.
It's name should be Rippy McRip.

Where's the hachaonline guy? He usually pops up in PMP related threads to go on about how great his particular brand of PMP is.

I miss that guy!

ROFLAMO!

This is a good one - eat this, idiot Apple shills... iPhone was anything but new - merely a recycled version of many things available out there for yearsd now: style, design, touchscreen, media player etc. In fact it's pretty inferior to most of the pdaphones out there including year-old ones.
