RAmos RM990 iOne2 PMP looks surprisingly desirable

RAmos definitely isn't the most respected name in PMPs here in the US, but as of late, it's done a commendable job of staying relevant... at least on the design front, anyway. The firm's latest concoction, which goes by RM990 iOne2, is a touchscreen-heavy media player that's clearly not anorexic. Specs wise, we're told that it features a 3-inch WQVGA touch panel, haptic feedback, a built-in accelerometer, 4GB of internal storage and support for a whole gaggle of file formats. Not bad for the low, low asking price of just 399 yuan (around $58), but it's hardly worth a trip to Shanghai.

$58? that's filthy cheap.
why does it need a accelerometer? for games?

and possibly screen transitions?

honestly, with the low price of flash memory these days, that's a really nice price.. even if the thing doesn't last more than a year or two.

I may have jumped to conclusions. I don't see a microSD slot in the linked pictures... but maybe it still has one. meh, still a decent-looking little gadget.

i'm surprised engadget hasn't called this an ipod touch ripoff!!!

This is actually awesome looking... Someone needs to come up with something like this that has a decent battery life...

Stuff is going in the wrong direction I think.

Smaller/more advanced batteries developed != use a smaller battery
Smaller/more advanced batteries developed = give the thing a freakin amazing battery life and keep it the same size

Come on.. I wanna see more 2000mah-2500mah+ batteries, Not the crummy tiny ones we are getting....

My pockets are large enough to fit 3-4 iphones.. A decent sized device would still feel comfortable.

Good story brah, wouldn't expect great battery life on such a cheap device.

on the design front? with this brick like device?

Ramos uses pretty good chipset and their decoding capability and reliability is better than some of its competitor, as far as I know, but this device is nothing about design front.
