If Ainol V1000 is just too plain for you, how about the new Gemei X900, another Chinese PMP with game emulator. Basically, its features arae just similar with Ainol V1000 but it comes with a bigger screen and a gamepad dock! It is also powered by a ADI processor. The new X900 has a large screen, which is a 4.3″ 16:9 Wide Sharp LCD.
Hey, I wish I were in China now!

You might not familiar with Teclast since it is maily appear in China mainland. The company is the first MP3 manufacturer that introduces dual core in MP3 players. Err0r has sent me his exclusive review on his Teclast T29 on the new Teclast fansite - Teclasters. The T29 is third generation of Teclast’s dual core MP3 player that powered by Korean’s Telechips TCC770 and UK’s Wolfson WM8750S
The Teclast T29 is a small, great looking and cheap player. It has all the regular functions required of modern digital audio players as well as some additional ones. A generous accessory pack is bundled with the player. A great piece of additional eye-candy is that the background “pulsates”, fades and un-fades.
It has some points that annoy me somewhat. First off, it displays a Unicode font (Courier?) – the type of English text you see when browsing Asian websites. Secondly, the slightly loose top button. Thirdly, the fact that the strap only can be attached to the pouch and not the player itself. Finally, the navigation can take some time to be understood and mastered.
The Teclast T29 is a great player. Good functions, good bundle of accessories, good sound and a nice exterior. Its small size makes it very portable and its cheap price makes it very affordable. Teclast are prompt with firmware updates. Just two days ago a new firmware was released for the T29 fixing some problems and improving navigation, making it more logical. If this continues, in some time some of my annoyances towards this player could be extinguished.

We did report Iwod G10 PMP with NES emulator before. Now, Ainol also make their new V1000 to emulate more old school console games! The new V1000 is powered by ADI Blackfin series processors that runs at maximum 400Mhz. It allows you to play those oldtimes 8bit NES, 16bit SFC and Sega MD games.
Other than its gaming features, the V1000 also capable to playback AVi videos on a 2.5″ QVGA display. Besides the usual MP3 and WMA codec, it also supports FLAC lossless codec for better quality of audio experience.
