Zhuhai Aimei's SD-217 -- a genuinely puzzling PMP

Ah c'mon, it's just too easy to look at Zhuhai Aimei's SD-217 and bash it for being puzzling -- after all, who in their right mind would opt for this piece when they could grab an equally unrefined knockoff just down the street? Regardless, this laugher features an SD expansion slot for loading up your media, USB 2.0 connectivity, seven equalizer presets and support for MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF and WAV file formats. As an added bonus, the D-pad design was practically ripped from another ripoff, which ratchets the respectability here down even further. Of course, those still confident that they could move these units in their newly created trinket shop can snag 'em in blue, red or green and in capacities ranging from 128MB to 4GB. The price, however, remains a mystery -- right along with what the creators were thinking when sending this atrocity to the production line.

Maybe this is a product line targeted at the 15 year old and younger market??

Engadget should get some and give them away for Black Friday. That'll save you money AND give an interesting review.

Holy crap, get some coffee! It's just an MP3 player. There are 1500 versions of them, and they can't all re-invent the D-Pad, squircle or wheel.

It's just another player, nothing less, nothing more.

Folks, its the Austin Powers edition.
