You can never have too many name-brand duping, cheap looking, Chinese sweatshop produced PMPs laying around, can you? I mean sure, we've seen little guys that boost the Gameboy Micro before, such as this number from way back in 2006, but this new entry does it with so much flair and unabashed disregard for copyright law we just had to mention it. The BMP-900 -- as this device is mechanically called -- does all kinds of exciting PMP activities, like playback of MP3, WMA, WAV, and PCM audio, MPEG4 and AVI video, JPEG, GIF and BMP picture viewing, plus e-book and TXT reading. Additionally -- and this may come as a surprise to some -- the red devil does some video game emulation, including Famicom, Gameboy, and Gameboy Color. Right now the player seems to only be available in China, or wholesale in lots of 100-199 pieces... so, go nuts.

Doesn't look that bad, but I doubt it has the enough features to surpass anything, really.

It looks pretty good except for the fact that there aren't enough buttons for SNES (and the buttons that are there are arranged horribly) and it's doubtful that there's enough processing power anyway. But seriously, some cheapo Chinese company needs to fill the gap that GamePark's bankruptcy has left

I'd totally get it, if it isn't really expensive, which it shouldn't be.

Game emulator: supports 8-bit FC/NEC and GB/GBC game under third-party software

Does that mean it comes with the software or you go get it ?

Oh and funny it doesent say what media it takes or if its onboard, how much it has....

This reminds me more of a Kingston K-PEX 100 PMP. The K-PEX has just about the same shape, screen, and button layout, but it supports less formats, and has no emulation features...

I'm going to request a sample. It has an option to pay for the sample so you could order 1 sample and pay for that 1 sample just like you would buy it at a store. Just make up some random Buisnees Name.
