Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
iPhone UI ripoff ofcourse, but the device itself looks very nice though.
They ripped of more than just Apple. They also stole Sony's buttons and SNES from Nintendo.
In Chinatown, they sell prepared memory cards with a bunch of NES, Master System, Genesis, TurboGraphyx16, Super NES, gameboy and game gear games on it for the PSP.
I'd like to see more game chips like that.
This PMP is very cool, but i've had alot of experience with Chinese made PMP's and the one reason I can never buy them is because everynow and then, their firmware goes corrupt and you're stuck with a device that barelly works. There are no sites in China providing online support for international buyers of these devices.
whenever Engadget shows these, I give a good, thanks but no thanks.
call UI iPhone rip if you want, but the device itself definately got a few design elements from this;

but with more of a 99 cent store look and feal
in soviet russia, prepared memory cards sell you.

So now Apple invented organising icons into rows to control functions? That's quite amazing considering how they have been beaten to the punch by almost every other phone manufacturer, and probably Oppo themselves.
He's talking about the design of the icons, not the positioning. The rounded square with shiny reflection. One of them looks very much like the iphone address book. I guess Apple should be flattered that others like their style so much.
Want. But how much will it be?
RIP OFF??
Why is everyone after Apple's GUI. Cant people stop copying and make something new and better...?
Chrono Trigger is so hard to render...
not even close to starfox tho
Hmm wonder if it can be hacked to play gba roms. Also what's the codec support?
Knowing Oppo, the codec support as well as multimedia performance should be top notch.
Does it come with Matthew Bellamy?
haha damn you beat me to it.
Nah, it's probably only going to come with Chris Wolstenholme.
That actually looks kinda decent.
Straight up! All I want is perfect PSX, SNES, GBA, & N64 Emulation in one device. I don't know what the specs are on this, but the controls are nice.
zenstylejunglist, if you want PSX, SNES, Amiga, MegaDrive etc emulation, then your better off looking at the Pandora.

Pandora running Megadrive-Genesis with external USB support

Battery life while running SNES @ 500 MHz ( can do 900Mhz ) got 8,5 hours and that was without dynamic CPU control ( aka, one low CPU usage, it did not downclock its CPU to save power ).
Pre-Ordering is going to start 30/09/2008, and shipping of the first batch 2 months later.
erm, good luck with that. the only thing that can do that (besides a laptop) is the pandora.
wow those buttons are really annoying me. iphone ripoffs are commonplace, but the ps buttons take it too far. TOO FAR MAN!
I think I found my perfect PMP.
The SNES library is HUGE.... I mean think of all the Mortal Kombats, Street Fighters, and Donkey Kong islands you can get!!
But I thought the SNES required a 6-key configuration.
Can someone please explain to me why they would want a band new device that runs old SNES games? Am I missing something here? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love to play them on my computer in MAME emulations and what not, but a brand new handheld device that runs old SNES games *only*? Er.... wtf? Show me a handheld device that runs Wii games, or Xbox 360 games, yeah... but SNES? Whew... that one escapes me. I guess I'm not the geek I thought I was.
a google search of "muse g11" reveals a list of sites' blog posts identical to this one, all the way down to quoting pmp today as a source (and presumably the css). who broke the news? why aren't their specs? who the hell is oppo? why would they go from making dvd converters to pmp? so many unanswered questions.
i've got a gp2x and i love it. i can play every pre-n64 (not including n64) off of an sd card. plus native mp3, ogg, flac, mov, mp4 support, and an open source os? you can't beat that. well, until they release the newer model anyway.
So do you mean you can play ps1 and saturn games too? The new gp2x wiz model looks extremely tempting. Its even more compact then the DS lite.
Protip for web marketing:
Don't put "Web Marketer" in your sig.
i think you've got a dead "read" link, I saw an extra %20 in the address...
whoa, poor Gameboy Micro + powerful hunks PSP + iPhone = Oppo muse G11,
REAL BAD ORGY
@Sean D: I guess not. Do you have any idea the kind of hardware it would take to emulate a current generation console? The devices that run the console natively are already huge, and you'd need way better specs to be able to run a shell program that mimics all that hardware on top of whatever core software is on the device. Then to cram all that into a device that can easily fit into the palm of your hand is asking for a lot, my friend.
Also, consider that emulation on top-end computers is still not perfect for the last gen (I'm not as informed as I used to be, but as I recall, PS2 support is still pretty spotty) and there are even some SNES games (Chrono Trigger, DKC, StarFox) that run pretty crappily on most portable systems.
