MyRacer MF101 handheld does gaming first, media second

First things first -- Americans can keep dreaming on this one, as we're looking at yet another curious creation that probably won't wander far beyond the borders of South Korea. MyRacer's MF101 handheld can certainly play nice with a few audio / video formats -- AVI, MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG and BMP, for starters -- but the control pad flanking each side of the 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resolution display gives away its true calling. Reportedly, it sports a Flash-based interface that enables users to sort through titles on their SD card or the 1GB of internal memory, but details are fuzzy on what games it'll actually play. Still, doesn't seem like a half bad investment for ?99,000 ($104) if you're in the area.

wow, look at the interface, a straight PSP ripoff

Why isn't this on "real Fake"?

[anonymouspimp @ Feb 20th 2008 11:55AM]

because it is real?

[Joel Stephen @ Feb 20th 2008 12:17PM]

Because Engadget only hates China

woow, really wonderful!

first questions
is this a phone or pmp?
is it hackable?
will it emulate?
does it have bluetooth?
wifi?
vga display? ( cant tell by looking at photo)


....if at least three of those questions have yes answers this could be a worthy investment ( clearly the phone or pmp question is not yes or no)

how soon can we find out the deal on this chumpy?

VGA = 640×480
the MyRacer has a 320 x 240 screen, which is QVGA

okay part du
kingofwale: I dont see this being so much a psp rip...I mean I guess if u call icons strategically placed where they make the most sense a rip off then ok....but as a psp owner I dont think that myself or anyone else would be fooled even a little....looking at the pic again I see there is an E...I'm hoping this is for internet access even though clearly it cant be an "explorer" e....interested in knowing more


eyes watchin......

I WANT A PSP PHONE!!! Sorry, just have to share.

[Josh L @ Feb 20th 2008 2:54PM]

PSPs ship with Skype. They already are "PSP Phones".

[Joel Stephen @ Feb 20th 2008 3:01PM]

I think he means a real phone you know one with more than a 300 ft. range and hotspot dependency....Sony should put the Xperia X1 and the PSP ina dark room and let teh magic happen so we can have some sexy game playing call making program bumping babies

[Nate the Prophet @ Feb 20th 2008 4:14PM]

LOL, that would be sweet. I just wish Sony would pull a Jobs and announce that a PSPhone is in the works...even if it's 6 months out. I need to get something soon, and will settle for an iPhone if there is not a gaming solution on the horizon.

is it just me? or does the earphones look like the ipod earphones with an extra piece of gray plastic?
