Newman A6: That's exactly how new Zen Vision:M should be

If you venture over to China, I'm sure you'll find no shortage of iPod clones. The knock-off market there is obviously huge and widely untamed. They clone other DAP brands as well, but I rarely ever get to see them. That's why I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted Creative's ZEN interface on a Chinese PMP:


The player is called the A6, and comes from a company called Newman. As you can see, they rip off the ZEN interface in its entirety. Now, I was going to use this space to do another one of my rants about how much I hate piracy, but instead I'll actually tell you more about this player.

As ironic, or sad as this is, the A6 sounds a lot like the true ZVM successor we've been waiting on. It's an HDD player ranging in size from 40 to 160GB, has a great 4.3" widescreen display (16 million colors), AVI support, and TV-out. It feels like a slap in the face that a knock-off company is releasing players with more desirable features than Creative is, but what can we do?
