Is Sony China bringing us new products after the unsuccessful CE-P series? There is a rumor tells that two new series PMX-U50 and PMX-M70 will be released some time between this month and the coming May.


They seems like photoshoped images and look stupid. Could it be another April Fool’s joke?

The new Hacha we mentioned some days ago is now unveiled. The model that took about one year of development together with the world’s largest NOR Flash provider, Spansion is the new Hacha R280!

The new R280 is powered by the ARM926EJ-S 240Mhz core that built-in with DSP and Java accelerator, and 16MB SDRAM (max 128MB). It also features a 2.83″ QVGA display and maximum 8GB flash memory.

Don’t worry about the battery life, The company claims that it can play audio and video up to 30 hours and 5t hours respectively.
Well, the retail price is still unknown and it will probably be available after the X’mas. I hope it can be cheap as other’s China brands

How much do you expect to have a digital audio player for just US$50? If you are not those big brand fanboy, you can actually get a feature-rich Yoto V200 for that price. For RMB399 (approx US$50), you can get a pretty decent digital audio player with 1GB memory and 2.4″ QVGA LCD display. Futhermore, it does come with Micro SD card slot with supports maximum 2GB expansion. Again, like other Chinese brands, it is most probably not available worldwide.
