Onda's Vi10 Android PMP sports Rockchip internals, 3G wireless

We haven't seen much of Rockchip's 600MHz, RK2808 processor for mobile devices outside of China and, while we're not entirely confident that this particular implementation will ever grace our retail shelves, it is nice to see that this semi-working prototype exists... somewhere. It's the Vi10 from Onda and it sits somewhere between a PMP and a tablet, sporting the same body as the company's earlier VX575, giving it a five-inch screen, but inside has that Rockchip processor powering an Android install. Connectivity is said to come courtesy of WiFi or 3G and, well, that's about all we know at this point -- perhaps, all we're likely to ever know.

For the nth time Engadget, this is just the Rockchip RK2808 reference prototype all the manufacturers have right now. The RAmOS W7 looks exactly the same as this right now.

You guys never get your Chinese news right. I'm sorry.

Mp4nation.net has all these pmps with full specs listed. They definitely look nice but the memory is so low , it's useless 100gb minimum

@markolic
Which android device has 100gb right now? If they are so useless, why are there so many of them being used and sold?

@hated one
Yes

@normanb20 Ipad owners complain about low space for movies, most people do not want to use a stream program from their pc, they want it all in thier hands

@hated one
I understand the name.... I really hate you. I mean really hate you.
Trolls have never bothered me before, but you are everywhere.
Do you scour the web for android news all day, and make stupid comments, that bolster no arguement?
Are you 13?
You little troll!

@hated one Actually the platform itself is very viable. This is essential the Archos 7 Home Tablet in a 5" form factor.

@normanb20 Chill dude. Don't let this sort of thing get you so upset. It's not worth it.

@xaueious

[iHakr Posted Apr 23rd 2010 3:58PM]

2010 - the year of two things: Me-too Android pmps and tablets that will never be seen, and people discussing the size of bezels on said devices.
