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.

The new Rm400 is capable to playback AVI video at 24fps on a 2.2″ QVGA display. We’ll see a review very soon once the product actually released.

What do you expect of an MP3 player worth US$50? A cloned iPod? Definitely not. With only RMB399 (approx US$50), you can have the new 1GB Yoto T-21.

Although Yoto T-21 is cheap in price but it doesn’t mean that it has to be cheap in quality. The new T-21 features a big screen with QVGA resolution. It is powered by the RK2608 DSP, the new Rockchip RISC chip. It supports AVI playback upto 30fps at QVGA resolution. With a firmware upgrade, the chip also capable to play other media such as flash and games. All these are more than US$50 worth.

The first Rockchip-based model, RAmos RM100 is getting more attention due to it’s high cost/performance ratio. It is definitely a steal to get a RM100 512MB with 2″ TFT LCD for just RMB499 (approx US$62).
iMP3 recently reviewed the RAmos RM100 and gave it a high mark which is overall 5/6. It has a solid case surface and does play XVID video smoothly @ 20fps on its 2″ screen. However, it does not come with built-in FM tuner.
