Instead of a bigger screen than the Archos AV700 and the Mobinote
series under various OEM labels they need to work on getting rid of
all the plastic on the face of these units so that it's almost all
screen.

This is one of those Nano clones all over ebay. Looks almost identical (only with less of a rip off of the Nano) and the 1.5" screen, FM radio and txt playback is a dead give away.

Expect the video format to be either mtv or amv.

I wrote a review of the nano's that's on videohelp's forum and I'll link it up to my blog.

They gotta add more memory (atleast 8+) if they expect people to start buying PDAs again who have flocked over to the PMP market.

I don't think the Neuros has the remote or the ability to control a TV tuner. The 640x480 resolution is better too I believe.

For those who think this could never sell for that price in North America.

I ordered a *quite* similar MP4 player off ebay from China and it came in shipping included for $70 CDN total (about $65 USD).

Differences: Only 256 internal memory but with an open SD slot, 2.5" screen instead of 2", lacking a FM radio but with the ability to line out and playback or record from TV at VCD quality.

There are some *quite* cheap Chinese portable video players off ebay. The trick is just to research to find what's out there, what's crap and what featues you want.

What I'm wondering if this'll support .nes rom files like some similar looking flash based PMP devices out of China.

Thanks for the divx reports and the review. Damn this does look sweet. I think I'm still gonna hold off for Ipod size (or perhaps even Nano) with a tv tuner inside in addition to what this device offers however The Villv is making it tough...this is one damn nice device.

With the flash os and game feature has anybody tried downloading swf games like this one here: http://neretva.org/exit/games/neave_tetris.swf ?

Why is everybody saying that these posts should be removed or segregated to their own section?

Just because they rip off the Ipod look does not mean that it is not a good device. Prime example here: http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1469976#1469976

Now clearly this is a piece of crap. A big steaming pile. But not all these Nano clones are. By this logic if the Acer model above could fall into the same category if it had been posted just a couple weeks later.

"Supported Video Type: DivX All version , Xvid , MPEG1/2/4 , SWF, ASF, WMV files through conversion software"

I don't like the sounds of this. I picked up and reviewed the MPIO FG200 which also said almost exactly the same thing on the package (every codec supported on the planet it seems) only to convert them all to the larger and inferior AMV format.

Can anybody confirm that this device plays actual divx files (either native or put through pocketdivxencoder, super or dr. divx to pocket platform) for those interested in the device?

It looks sweet (but unlike the MPIO which I bought and was able to return to best buy) I'd be concerned spending this amount of coin that a device like this from a online store that is sure to run unless I know *alot* about it.

For those interested in the MPIO review check it out on the videohelp PVP forum or my blog.

I did a review of the knock off Nano awhile ago. Believe it or not it's actually pretty decent and cheap as hell if you look arond ($50 CDN total for a 256 MB model)
