Onda's VX767 PMP is a nice slice of sexy

Sure, most fullscreen players end up looking roughly the same -- some more than others -- but we like the direction Onda has taken its 4.3-inch widescreen VX767. The player can show off RM, RMVB, FLV, AVI, MOV, ASF, MP4, WMV, 3GP and MPG video on its 480 x 272 LCD, and includes support for TV out. Audio codec support is less impressive, but there are games and lyrics along with voice recording and FM radio to keep you occupied. No word on internal storage or price, but you can slap in a 32GB microSD card if your wallet will allow.

are they trying to advertise that its also splash proof?

[Anthony @ Mar 25th 2008 10:29AM]

I was going to comment on the exact same thing. That's a feature worth noting since I use my players @ the gym.

However, I think it's got too much dead space on either side (horizontally).

[OneLove @ Mar 25th 2008 10:46AM]

somewhere out there there a landfill full of discarded pmp's, pvp's, etc. The market is flooded.

[anonymouspimp @ Mar 25th 2008 1:57PM]

Yeah, flooded with the same old iCrap. Bring on the codecs!

[Mark @ Mar 25th 2008 10:26AM]

mmm .. wet. this is kinda turning me on.

[Jeff @ Mar 25th 2008 1:35PM]

you might want to talk to someone about that. ...doesn't sound healthy.

[Raheem @ Mar 25th 2008 10:26AM]

I like this kind of thing. It looks good, it's got good features and they're usually not too pricey but one thing: Where oh where do they sell them?!

[albi @ Mar 25th 2008 12:45PM]

China

[Sharakar @ Mar 26th 2008 11:34AM]

well if u want to buy 1 online u can check some wholesalers like http://www.mp4global.com/ , they'll prolly be the first ones to get em . I recently got my vx747 from them, it came intact with everything, the only things I don't like about the vx747 are that u can't zoom into pictures( I MUST have that for my manga, but some new firmware might fix this) and that it's a tad small, but it's awesom e since I don't have to convert any of my video's:)

[martin @ Apr 25th 2008 1:37AM]

Check www.allpmp.com they are usually the first ones to sell all those new chinese marvels. I'm waiting for them to have them and buy my own.

Double Post FTW!! Just kidding buddy :)
*thinks if he'll get "Highest Ranked"*

[CT A @ Mar 25th 2008 4:20PM]

You certainly won't, Ameen.

[Argot @ Mar 25th 2008 10:27AM]

I like it. It reminds me of the LG Prada in it's design.

[Tal Rico @ Mar 25th 2008 10:34AM]

Yeah, bad call with the random water droplets. Is it an all-in-one PMP/Pepsi?

[mymaclife @ Mar 25th 2008 10:43AM]

Put an Apple logo on it and everyone could slag it off!

[jaalin @ Mar 25th 2008 11:14AM]

from the article: supports mp3, wmv, wav, ape, flac, and "other audio formats" - hopefully that includes ogg

advertised battery life 40 hours audio / 10 hours video - great if it comes anywhere near that

[supermeerkat @ Mar 25th 2008 11:17AM]

Reminds me of another companies product - can't quite remember what it is though. Some kind of fruit I think.....

[riggs @ Mar 25th 2008 11:43AM]

you're the fruit.

[TheCow5 @ Mar 25th 2008 11:52AM]

I will second that.

[Geonerd @ Mar 25th 2008 11:57AM]

I third that

[roole @ Mar 25th 2008 12:08PM]

Dr. Pavlov, -- oops, I mean, @supermeerkat, -- who let the dogs out?

[supermeerkat @ Mar 25th 2008 12:37PM]

I most certainly am not a fruit, as my wife and two children can testify. I think that Riggs and his little gang are seriously fruity individuals who hope to hide it by loudly accusing others.

[byaah @ Mar 25th 2008 12:50PM]

Chill out guys, he was just pointing out his view. I think it looks like and iPod touch as well. I'm not going to bash it and say "its crap because they copy Apple!!1!!", though. Its just an observation.

[fanman @ Mar 25th 2008 2:12PM]

"I most certainly am not a fruit, as my wife and two children can testify."

Fruit can reproduce as well you know. >:(

Not a bad little player! Too bad we probably won't ever see it state-side.

I'm a little concerned that you didn't think the audio codecs were that impressive. The thing supports FLAC! Granted, it doesn't support other free codecs, like AAC or OGG, but still... at least it's got FLAC. That's something! It does list "and other formats", so who knows what the final product will support.

[Jeebus @ Mar 25th 2008 12:29PM]

If it supports the LYRICS tag from FLAC files, I'm sold.

[Harry Wagstaff @ Mar 25th 2008 1:35PM]

Rich support of the game? Which game? Does that mean only rich people can play games on it?

[Geonerd @ Mar 25th 2008 12:02PM]

Lovely except for the fact that it doesnt brings A2DP BLUETOOTH !!!!!!!!!!! I would have bought it otherwise. Loved the 32G micro SD, far better than the 16G of the new walkman (this one brings A2DP though)

[etechshop @ Mar 25th 2008 12:38PM]

yummy, APE and FLAC format for audio, RM, RMVB, MP4 and 3GP for video is all I care. :)

definitely will try to score one for myself....

[retro77 @ Mar 25th 2008 12:41PM]

Why do all the new devices have to look like an iPhone?

[Lance Wexler @ Mar 25th 2008 1:10PM]

No such thing as a microSD, and I seriously doubt there ever will be. Even if there is, this device will be long gone by then...

[Lance Wexler @ Mar 25th 2008 1:11PM]

Of course, I meant *32GB* microSD.

[phanbouy @ Mar 25th 2008 1:23PM]

wow! it's as big as the toilet it's leaning against!

[wootman @ Mar 25th 2008 1:32PM]

does games mean NES emulation like on most of these?
and is there any likelihood of there being a DVR dock?

[anonymouspimp @ Mar 25th 2008 1:59PM]

www.houseofdap.com

This particular model probably is not available there yet, since its so new.

[anonymouspimp @ Mar 25th 2008 2:00PM]

That was supposed to be a response to Raheem...

[CB @ Mar 25th 2008 2:43PM]

Simplicity, this is what more products need.

[Ryan @ Mar 25th 2008 8:18PM]

But is it waterproof? Lame marketing if it isn't.

[Z @ Mar 31st 2008 9:25PM]

holy crap resemble ipod touch much????
