AOC intros format-lovin' X600 portable media player
To say it's been awhile since we've seen anything noteworthy from AOC would be a gross understatement, but the Chinese firm is hitting back with a sleek new PMP that just dares you to feed it off-the-wall formats. Besides boasting an expansive 3-inch 400 x 240 resolution display, this bugger handles RM, RMVB, FLV, AVI, MOV, ASF, MP4, WMV, MPG, WMA, MP3, APE and FLAC files (among others) and offers up an FM tuner, text / photo viewer, 4GB of storage space and TV-out functionality. Fairly potent for 599 yuan ($85), huh?

All for $85!? Man, they make it so cheap. I like it...
holy crap
*looks at pants*
"MA! Where's the buttons?"
"They popped off, fatty."
i clicked on the picture and it led me to a chinese page with no other pictures of this thing. where are the inputs/outputs/buttons/microwave?
Ok, they just beat the bang/buck record, I'll praise em for that. Onda vx767 just became obsolete b4 it even got released. I tell ya, u just can't watch the Chinese mp4 player market without popcorn
this looks awesome. from the front.
since no other pictures can be found, im not going to say it looks great everywhere. could have ugly buttons/ports on the side and an ugly back
Why do I suddenly smell photoshop?
Does photoshop smell like anything?
@austin
word. it might have adriana lima's rack, but if it has her grandmother's booty, i'm not going to like that much.
i think.
I will purchase one of these regardless of the back should it become available stateside at that price. It's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for.
i don't know why i clicked, but i did.
Sounds too good to be true. I'm not biting just yet. wtf is taking Archos so long to release official info on their new players?
do want!
damn, on second look - that's 100% photoshop. Crap device incoming?
Typical AOC bias! Why don't you just rename this site EngadAOC and be done with it!
@JT
oh please. AOC makes great products with pretty interfaces that you iRiver fanboys just can't compete with. it's not engadget's fault that iRiver sucks and AOC is da mad bombz, yo.
Totally shopped; look closely at the top left corner and there is some really bad pixel work. Ah the dream....two months later, you'll be disappointed by the reality, only to have already moved on to another dream picture ;-)
It's all the same in the dark.
Step aside iPod...
What the heck? Why did they steal a picture from national geographic and put it on there?!? Of an african desert tribe?
anyone know what the storage capacity will be on these things?
If it's 4 gb or more, than $85 is a steal
It's obviously a digital render, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the actual product is any different...
cause the lolcats are burning in the oven, hurry!
^^ @Sharakar ^^
zed, I would appreciate it if you were to change your profile picture. Thanks.
....'among others'?
I bet that's endadget's way of writing off vorbis, theora, and dirac.
It looks awfully like this one:

The price is almost the same too (S$149 is about US$90).
I agree. The lack of nipples makes me confused and a little disappointed.
@Jason
"It's all the same in the dark."
True,until you turn them on and actually see the difference.
All black, big screen, rounded corners?
Tch. Prada innovates, AOC emulates.
Haven't you heard?? The most popular devices in China are sporting mp5 now. LOL.
managed to dig this up. shows the button layout http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://tech.sina.com.cn/digi/mp4/2008-03-17/15322082462.shtml&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=12&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Daoc%2Bx600%26num%3D20%26hl%3Den%26newwindow%3D1%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENUK244%26sa%3DG
I bet if I had a stray cat who constantly eats from the dumpster, it would smell like that.
That was a reply to Aguilus. This sucks. I did hit the reply link and it didn't work.
This smells like photoSHIT. WHy is the rain yellow?
I'm going out on a limb here and saying 4GB...
read much?!
my last comment was directed @IT-Accountant...
Hmm this is intriguing enough for me to purchase it. I'm not a big brand name junkie like most here.
reading a few sites (in Chinese) suggests this is 2GB or has a 2GB version
Wurd. Pound it!
If you guys can read Chinese, it says that 2GB version is around ¥400($57).

i would snaffle this up so fast IF it had more storage, and or external storage (cf card or something) and @ zed.. nice
Somebody please tell me where I can get one of these!!! I'm having no luck going through www.aocdigi.com
