Chuwi’s W3000 still looks unlikely to arrive on US or European shelves any time soon, but that hasn’t dulled the enthusiasm of the guys over at MP4 Nation. They’ve been putting the 4.1-inch touchscreen PMP through its paces, and finding that in contrast to the SmartQ 5, the W3000 actually does a good job both as a media player and as an internet device.
Another ARM-based touchscreen device blurring the definition between PMP and MID, the Chuwi W3000 has a Telechips 7901 dual-core chipset with integrated DSP for what’s said to be better audio and video playback. There’s also WiFi and possibly Bluetooth, GPS and USB Host functionality.
Chuwi might not be a name you’re especially familiar with, but I’d certainly like to get to know their new M70 PMP. Blessed with a 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution display, the M70 will play audio and video files as well as display photos and output to a TV; other specs are something of a mystery.
