Ainol's palatable V3000 PMP priced at $100

For obvious reasons, we don't get too excited about PMPs developed and produced entirely in China, but similar to Gemei's lot, Ainol looks to have a winner on its hands with the V3000. We've seen this display-dominated unit prancing around for awhile now, but we've just now learned how much the company plans on charging for it: 699 Chinese yuan, or around $102 before haggling. For that, you'll get 4GB of internal space, a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 resolution display, FM tuner, TV output and a rechargeable battery. Now, where to find one is the real challenge.

Sure that ain't an FM Transmitter?

This ebay ad doesn't say anything about a tuner, but it does say "FM Transmitter"- It is a Chinese listing, though.

I'm just waiting for the x-ray of an Ainol stuck in a body cavity.

Also $100 for Ainol in Las Vegas is a bargain.

Can I hack it to run Ubuntu?

(maybe make a variant called U-butt-too).

Poor joke for a serious post, can it be hacked do you think?

sigh a Chinese company coming up with the name Ainol, why am I not surprised? (I'm Chinese by the way)

"You sell MP3 players?"

"Yeah."

"What's your cheapest one?"

"It's a hundred bucks for Ainol."
