Video Review of RAmos T8HD

Here is a video review of a nice PMP form Ramos.

The T8HD use the same body design as the older RAmos T8, there really is no difference between the two, even their weight is almost identical, however the quality of the actual screen seems to be better, even though its only 480 x 272 resolution, images do look nice on the 4.3" screen and it has fairly decent viewing angles.

The UI is exactly the same as we saw on the RAmos T11RK, so you can expect nice kinetic scrolling as well as album art music browsing. The T8HD has the RK2806 media processor at its core, so it is capable of support videos upto 1280 x 720 resolution and supports AVI, FLV, MKV and RMVB video formats, it also supports MP3, WMA, FLAC and APE audio formats.

Overall the RAmos T8HD is a nice touch screen player with a very interactive and attractive UI.

iRiver Smart HD PMP Video

Formerly dubbed the iRiver K1, the recently announced Smart HD should be a real alternative to the iPod Touch and the ZuneHD. The touchscreen of the Smart HD is quite responsive and the vuilt-in accelerometer has a few user interface tricks: you can tilt to browse. You can multitask as well by minimizing the player so you can browse. This is a WiFi-enabled player with a Windows CE operating system. If priced cheap enough it should be a good alternative to pricier touchscreen WiFi PMPs.

Archos 7: PMP with Android

The Archos 7 with Android will be one of the possibilities that we find in the market about this nice PMP. And if the leaks are true, basic specifications and comes with an attractive price: around 200 euros.


The Archos 7 would have 7-inch screen with 800 × 480 pixels, 8GB internal memory, plus a webcam. Without knowing details of the autonomy or connectivity, we seem to offer something very basic to good price.

Meizu M8 finished product!

You won't believe what you are going to see in the next video. It's supposed to be the Meizu M8 finished product (Meizu Mini One).
The room is so dark that we have to guess that it's really a Meizu and not any other tactil Phone. At least it seems a very good phone. Although it runs Windows CE 5.0, the swiping touch control is almost as amazing as iPhone’s.
We also have to admit that the UI is sophisticated and beautiful. Screen resolution of the Meizu M8 is crisp.
It's expected to be sold in China this year.
