PMP? Mini console? MP3 player? Call it what you like, the Gemei X-900 is a neat little bag of tricks. Essentially it’s a 1GB portable video/music player that comes with a separate ‘joypad’, sporting dual-analog sticks. Why? Because the X-900 supports old 8-bit and 16-bit games from Nintendo and the Sega Megadrive.
The player itself has a 4.3in display with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. It supports video and audio playback, has an FM tuner, in-built digital camera and supports photo viewing. There is also support for FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) that allows you compress CD audio without screwing with the quality.
I wish I could give you a price and date on this little wonder from China but I can’t. There’s a review of it here though.-Martin Lynch

The Sharp Zaurus RD-CMP2000R continues Sharp’s tradition of putting an accessible version of Linux onto handhelds, letting users run wild with the various open source Linux apps available on the net. Not only does this one run Linux, it has a swiveling screen, QWERTY keypad, a 1.3-megapixel camera, e-Book reader, FM radio, and music player. This means it’s pretty much all you need to spy on HP’s board and not get caught.
It’s only available in Korea for now, but if it supports an English version of their UI, there’s no reason why you can’t import it.
