Onda VX777 Portable Media Player Sports Internet Radio, WiFi & (Possible) Touchscreen [Successor to Onda’s VX767 PMP]

Onda have taken the wraps off their new VX777 Portable Media Player which appears to be a revision of their VX767 PMP that, whilst aesthetically indistinguishable from its stable mate – which, when a PMP looks this good, is no bad thing – is billed as offering integrated WiFi and internet radio capabilities and which may (or may not) also sport touchscreen functionality.

As can be seen from the specifications provided below, Onda’s VX777 certainly ticks all the boxes as far as PMPs go in offering a 4.2” 16:6 widescreen 480 x 272 resolution 260K colour TFT, inbuilt TV-our connection, built-in speaker and a host of file format compatibility (sans the much under-rated and under supported OGG format support, alas) whilst battery life is purported to offer up to 30 hours and 10 hours for audio and video playback respectively.

Interestingly, the eagle-eyed amongst you will have duly noted that touchscreen functionality is not detailed in the VX777’s specifications though Onda had hinted that this model – unlike their VX767, on which this unit is based - would indeed support it. Either this is a striking omission on Onda’s part or we can only assume that touchscreen capabilities are sadly not to feature on the VX777 either (needless to say, we sincerely hope that it’s the former).

At the time of writing Onda have not released pricing details, however, they have seen fit to advise that their touchscreen/non-touchscreen VX777 should become commercially available sometime in August.
