Mary jane!
I wonder if she likes Ainol...
How do you pronounce the name of this company???
Anal.
Their website is just awesome... http://www.ainol.com/
Particularly their tagline: "Enjoy life. Enjoy Ainol."
"ainol" hahahahahaha!
"Do you like Ainol?"
Dude, that's not a weirdly applied reflection...
It's the almost-transparent playback control bar
I think they were talking about the perfectly diagonal reflection, rather than the playback controls.
Oh and the V2000? ever tried resurching your stories a little engadget, y'know, like the first like on google?

Ainol doesn't sound too bad. I suppose I might be tempted to give it a try...
"Ainol doesn't sound too bad."
I've been expecting for months to hear my girlfriend say that...
:P
What's with all these Chinese companies with names that neither Chinese nor Western people can pronounce?
And um, cool device.
This is pretty much exactly what I've been waiting for, ever since the iPhone made PMP makers shove a touchscreen on everything.
If this has one of those awesomely cheap China pricetags on it I just might get it - otherwise I'll wait for something similar from a more reputable company.
What's with the resolution? I know higher numbers are often regarded as good times, but who the heck is going to rip a movie at that resolution to play on a 4.3" display?
I rip movies at 240 x 400 for my 480 x 800 4.3" Nokia N800 display. Looks great and keeps movie file size around 400 Meg. The higher res display is great for web surfing though.
If they can't even apply a reflection (it even goes over the rim...), I'm worried about what software it's running.
Unless it wasn't them, in which case, um.
Ha! Ainol went over the rim......
......*sigh*......
480 x 800 4.3" widescreen? My $200 Nokia N800 has that. What else does this thing do and how much?
Isn't the first rule of marketing to know your market? Why would they expect to sell this in the US with a name like that?
"Check out my anal vee three thousand"
"your what?"
guy: "this is my anal pimp."
girl: "i bet it is."
guy: "it's got 4.3 inches."
girl: "i bet it does."
Good as reason as any to fly to china I think.
"Seriously though, you aren't about to fly to China"
Coming from the team that flew to New Zealand for a phone?
I've just bought ainol v3000, a very good piece of gadeget, but when it come to converting a file of 720x480 or 800x480 then it really sucks. I have used 2 days to figure out how to get the right converter. i've tried 10 different converters most dont support 800x 480 resolution at all. The player does not have any converter disc follow. the menu is all in chinese no English at all. I terribly need help. if any one have a suggestion pls post. Thank you.
