It seems that Rockchip is going to give Actions a big slam by squeezing to the crowded market perfectly. There are more and more low-end MP3 player (or Pre-PMP) built on Rockchip solution to provide better performance and extensibility.
RAmos is one of the pioneers by offering the first Rockchip-based MP3 player, RM100. The company is going to release new RM400 MP3 player, which powered by the new Rockchip RK2608 solution.
