First of all, you'd have a hard time FINDING this in China. The majority of Chinese made PMP's that are shipped to America are shipped by import shops that ship whatever new stuff comes out that they feel they can turn a profit on.

Second, if thing even works after a year, I'd be suprised. Chinese firmware/GUI's are terrible. I can't tell you how many of them I've seen suffer unrepairable critical errors.

these things don't even have corporate websites for customer support. Its not as if you can download updates for em.

That's one of the reasons Zune and iPod have done so well worlwide. Alot of Asians refuse to buy Chinese made PMP's. They want SONY, TOSHIBA, or anything they know they can have fixed if something goes wrong.

I wouldn't even worry about the unit's language, Chinese devices from PMP's to digi cams always support Traditional /Simplified and English.]]>Sep 27th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/Sep 27th 2008 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/Sep 27th 2008 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/
The PMP is here to stay, a decent one will give you 8 hours + of video for $200, try getting that battery life from a netbook or getting an iPhone for that cost.]]>Sep 27th 2008 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/

And yes, you can find SmartQ -as well as Meizu, Teclast, Oppo, Onda, RAmos, et al.- at any electronics mall here (China).

Considering a 3rd gen Nano 4GB is about 50 bucks more than this thing, I know what my next player is going to be. ]]>Sep 27th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/Sep 27th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/Sep 27th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/Sep 27th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/smartq-tao-sports-a-swanky-screen/
