Huh, Hacha? Frankly, I never heard of this name until these few days. The Chinese company recently leaks out a back-view photo of its new unnamed product. Well, it is most probably another PMP. According to the source, it will have slim body with less than 10mm thick and features large capacity of memory, which is 8GB max and with SD/MMC expansion.

Apple has the world smallest flash-based DAP, the Korean iRiverehas the world smallest DAP with color display. Now, the Japanese Kenwood claims that their new Media Keg HD10GB7 is the world smallest HDD-based DAP!
The new HD10GB7 features a 10GB HDD (probably 1″) in a 62 x 44 x 17mm body. It weights only 78g. Like its big brother, HD30GB9, it features the company patented Supreme EX audio effects. It supports Microsoft’s WMA DRM10 audio and Napstere To Go service. Well, it is kinda pricey, about 40000 Yen (approx US$345) for a 10GB DAP.

I’d talked about several PMPs with NES emulator, one of those is Ainol V1000 Plus. It is now reviewed by iMP3 staffs. They have made the conclusion that V1000 Plus as below.
Pros:
- Comes with fine quality display (2.5″ QVGA LTPS)
- Feature rich application
- Decent design
Cons:
- Slow data transmission speed
- Lack of media conversion software
The people of iMP3 probably left out one point. The V1000 Plus is cheap. For just RMB599 (approx USD76) or lower, you can get a 1GB player with these features!

A member of iMP3 forum had visited an OEM manufacturer and posted some body cases of MPIO MP3 players. The right most on picture above is the case of an unknown MPIO model. It is similar to FY800 but not as slim as it is and it doesn’t come with SD card expansion slot. It might be probably a downgrade version of FY800, similar relationship like FY600 and FY500.
