Lipljan's YDPG69 PMP has an identity crisis


Make no mistake about it, we've no qualms with a single gizmo handling more than a few tasks, but something about Lipljan Digital Technology's YDPG69 just screams intrapsychic conflict. At first glance, the device resembles a knockoff gaming unit, but upon closer inspection, you see just how hard this little fellow is trying to be a grown-up UMPC. Unfortunately, it doesn't really excel at being either, so you're left with a questionably designed PMP that runs Windows CE 5.0 and supports JPEG, BMP, GIF, MP3, MP4, DivX, XviD, AVI, ASF, MPEG4 and WMV files. Also, you'll find a 3-inch QVGA display and twin D-pads, but we can't imagine the on-screen keyboard being all that useful unless this thing opens up even wider. Granted, it seems that this unit is still a concept, so hopefully things will shake themselves out in the final version.
