"Chuwi apparently has its own version of the Teclast T56, called the P7... everyone laugh about how Chinese KIRFers are sharing designs with each!"

Yeah, not quite the same, is it?]]>Oct 9th 2009 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/I thought this is Teclast T56 -> http://images.imp3.net/article/2009/09/17/100166.jpg]]>Oct 9th 2009 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/
So this is just the Chuwi P7, nothing fake or copycat about it. ]]>Oct 9th 2009 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/
Teclast actually has some decent products. I've rallied for them over and over because the sound will stomp an ipod directly into Hell (no handbasket required).

You should see the new S:flo v2 coming to mp4nation. It is absolutely insane. DUAL Wolfson audio chips, microSD slot, and it can play more formats than you can name....that's enough to sell me. I will be getting one to replace my broken S:flo v1 gen 2

Seriously, do yourself a favor and spend the bones on a device with a Wolfson audio chip in it, and put it up against your ipod, Zune, or any other player on the market. It will dominate. Maybe not brands like Creative who specialize in sound, but the Wolfson may actually give it a run. Those audio decoding chips are no joke.

I don't buy mp3/mp4 players that don't have Wolfson, and I never will. I don't care if the ipod has a blowjob app, if I can't hear the moans in HD sound, you can keep your ipod. (you know what I'm saying...)]]>Oct 9th 2009 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/Oct 9th 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/chuwi-rips-off-teclasts-t56-with-its-p7-pmp-prices-it-for-the/
The Chuwi isn't a ripoff because these companies are all buying the same platform and stuffing into a box of their own design. The Teclast T56, the RAmos T11 TE, the Sigo S40/S50 and this Chuwi P7 are the exact same player internally with only the box and the (mildly tweaked in most cases) UI to differentiate them. The Chuwi player was announced roughly at the same time as the Teclast, basically when the platform was made available to manufacturers.

Also, SmartQ is building a MID on the same platform with the difference being the added connectivity a MID should have by definition.

The platform is a Telechips processor + Wolfson codec, by the way.

The same thing happened late last year into this year with a processor called the ChinaChip 1600 (with a Cirrus Logic codec for audio). That platform was used in at least a dozen players from different manufacturers.

For heaven's sake, Engadget, stop throwing around the KIRF/ripoff/clone tag as an excuse for poor fact-checking.
