Chuwi M70's 7-inch PMP reviewed, said to be large and in charge

Many PMPs are svelte, portable things that feel good in the hand and not too bad in a pocket. The same cannot be said for the 8GB Chuwi M70, a PMP packing a 7-inch, 700 x 480 widescreen LCD and not much else. In a review at MP4 Nation Blog that screen gets high marks, as does the ability to play video up to 1280 x 720 smoothly, but build quality is apparently a disappointment, and those dimensions make it something less than totally portable. The device hasn't officially been released in the US, but if you've got room in your heart for a PMP with a little extra to love they can be found online for under $120. Get hunting.

[Thanks, Tom]

The biggest market for these is probably as a replacement for the portable DVD player that every parent of young kids has in the car to placate the little wining bastards back there.

So it's a PMP for wookies?

Looks good to me, for those long train/plane trips.

With video-in this thing is on par with most bare LCD's of its size.
