Haier's Theater PMP sports a 3-inch touchscreen, recession-friendly price

There are PMPs in every shape and color, and while we've never been particularly fond of Haier's contributions to the segment, its latest might just find a home in that all-important lower-end of the spectrum. It packs a three-inch capacitive touchscreen of undisclosed resolution, an FM tuner, voice recorder, support for plenty of audio formats, a rather more spartan list of video formats (apparently just AVI and MPEG4), and comes in either four or eight GB sizes. Earth-shattering? No, but at prices of $89 and $99 it's a good value -- well, the bigger of the two is, anyway. Who wouldn't drop another $10 for twice the capacity?

Hmmm... Its got everything except for the name iPod, meaning it won't end up mattering in the grand PMP scheme of things

Hmmm..... can get a better deal than this on most phones down at DubLi. Think I'll give it a miss.

Rebrand of the Korean iStation Emerald E9. The Ramos Q25L is the same thing as well.

@NYNY Oh and I thought Haier were dropping out of the PMP game. Guess they really meant they would give up trying.

any reviews? usually the GUI on cheap chinese players is so bad, that you can barely use the device. Especially if its equipped with a rockchip.

Tiny drive and low quality video format support? What is this, 2002?
