Wow This Is Kinda Cool.....

[Jester]

I was browsing around ebay looking for some kind of funky gadget and i came across this: Link

I'm trying to find details on it (specs etc) anybody else came across one of these before?

 

[Fishbong]

What? 2 Megapixel camera? And 3D games? for that price?

Odd. But cool.

The seller seems to be OK, has been around for quite a while, but i didn´t read his feedback...

Anyway, here´s official Information on the JXD site

EDIT: feedback is excellent. The only fishy thing is that he has pictures of different JXD products, the JXD 683 and also the JXD 688

Yer i've found that site too, this thing looks really slick.

 

[Fishbong]

I can´t find one on froogle. Without comparing prices, its impossible to tell if he´s a scammer, so better wait until this thing is more popular.

Does look very nice indeed, although the quality of JXD's website does suggest they're even more fly-by-night than GPH

Mmmmmm your probably right, I've got a couple of friends in Hong Kong at the minute (their travelling before they start REAL work hehe) perhaps I'll email them about this thing and tell them to keep an eye out.

There's a review (in Dutch) here:

I can't understand a word, but it has some nice pictures The games are not 3D, but they look pretty cool nonetheless.

Looks rather lot like a PSP.

Babelfish seems to understand dutch well enough.

Haa, Jack Bauer saves the world again, this time on a handheld. Seems rather good quality, wrt picture.

Altho, price seems to be around 190€, and since Sony is coming out with a reduced price PSP somewhat shortly, I doubt this would be worth the price.

Original page here.

Not much tech spec available, Eg Proccessor type/speed etc.

Apparently many, if not all, of the included games are the same as those on the VG Pocket line of products. The dutch review has screens of them, and everything, right down to the game menu, is the same.

At least they have stable workers


from the site

We have stable workers 200 people

 

[Alpha2]

Sure they dont mean a stable of workers? paid in hay and sugar cubes. I wonder if this isnt a retooled HK GP2X ripoff just without the Linux OS.

Built-in 30 games, Venus Almighty Wang

:blink:
:lol:

I quite like the look of it. I found this list of features on some random site:

LCD screen: 2.5" 260K true color TFT LCD (Resolution: 320x240)

Support Max. 1GB SD/MMC card

Support AV out (PAL/NTSC). Watch all contents in your TV through an included video cable

Support AV in. Record favorite TV programs or DVD movies. A digital VCR!

2.0 MP digital camera/camcorder

Support MP3, WMA, WAV format audio files.

Support MPEG4. ASF MOVIE files and enjoy movies anywhere! (.ASF files can be converted by included software)

Rechargeable Lithium Battery for 10+ Hours of Music Playing on Full Charge

Universal Power Adaptor (100-240V) Included (2-Pin)


I'm interested in what processor it's using... The 1GB SD card limit and built in battery suck a bit, as does the smallish screen. Still, good find Jester

I am Venus, the ALMIGHTY WANG!

 

[fishybawb]

That name's almost as good as GP Enis, but gets bonus points for actually being used as the name of the product. As far as I can tell anyway.

"Hey guys, check out my Almighty Wang!" Ah, there's comedy potential there alright :lol:
