Ramos is teasing a new tablet range for CES 2011, and while fresh slates won't be in short supply at the show next week, the Ramos W15 does have something to help differentiate it. Fronted by an 8-inch, 16:9-aspect touchscreen, the W15 uses Rockchip's new RK2918 ARM Cortex-A8 SoC which, benchmarking earlier this week showed, promises to deliver both high performance and bargain pricing.

If you're in the market for an iPod alternative, and you don't mind going with a brand that your friends have never heard of, how about the RAmos T11TE?  The 5-inch 800 x 480 PMP may not look all that distinctive from the outside, but its Full HD 1080p output via an HDMI connection certainly singles it out from the rank & file of more mundane MP3 players.

RAmos to release Rockchip Android MID with 1080p?

, Sep 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

Having taunted us with one of the most alluring Android MIDs we've seen to date, only to reveal it was a mere husk intended to show off their 720p-capable HD chipset, Rockchip may slowly be working their way back into our good books.  RAmos Digital are teasing an upcoming Android device for an event to be held on September 25th, and from the promo shot it looks to be exactly the same as the Rockchip concept. Full specifications of the RAmos Android MID are unknown, though it's unsurprisingly expected to be ARM based rather than using x86 architecture.  It's also tipped to support 1080p MKV (H.264/VC-1), AVI (Xvid/DivX) and various other formats, with bitrates ranging from 30 to 40Mbps.

, Mar 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

We've mocked RAmos for their capitalization before, but we wouldn't dare critique the 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen their T9 PMP is blessed with.  The T9 takes a 24-bit, 16-million color panel, with a 400:1 contrast ratio, and slaps 16GB of storage to it, and the good people at MP4 Nation saw it as their duty to get one in for review.

RAmos may have a daftly-capitalized name, but they're deadly serious when it comes to picture quality for their latest T9 PMP.  The 4.3-inch touchscreen brings with it 800 x 480 resolution and 24-bit, 16-million color support, together with a 400:1 contrast ratio, 170-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle and LED backlighting.
