The design may look odd, but this is a serious bid for a niche in the world?s portable player market for Newman, the Chinese manufacturer. The Newman?s Mini All VX1000 is running Microsoft Windows CE OS, and you know what, it has all-in-one features: a Portable Media Player (PMP), PDA, VoIP phone, instant messenger and game emulator! Another shocking thing is, it goes only for 1999 yuan (RMB), which is about 264 US dollars, about half the price of a 4GB iPhone.

The device features a 4-inch 480 x 272 pixels TFT touchscreen (with stylus input) and support for 3GP, DIVX, h.264, AVI, WMV, ASF, MP3, WMA, OGG, WMA, APE, ASF, WAV, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TXT, DOC, XLS, PDF, PPT and PPS file format. There are Mic recording, FM radio and USB-on-the-go. It also supports 3D and Flash game, besides NES. It?s not a perfect portable media machine by any means. There?s no stereo Bluetooth and TV out and the external speakers do not inspire confidence. In spite that, it comes with WiFi connectivity, a great thing on the go.
