Window G85HD PMP Comes Out Of China

Tweet

Information on a new PMP from Chinese manufacturer has surfaced. It’s called the Window G85HD and it looks to be a powerful touchscreen PMP, sort of in the vein of the Archos tablet-like PMPs that we’ve seen before. While it’ll probably only be out in China, the device does have some interesting features to it.

You’ll notice that the design is pretty simple and all-white, with the chassis of the device being reportedly constructed with an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. The display measures in at 4.3-inches with a resolution of 800 x 480, although it will be able to kick it into 720p for playback. Chinese website PC Online got their hands on the device and reported that the UI is very nice. While they didn’t say if the touchscreen was resistive or capacitive, they did add that the touchscreen was “very sensitive”.

The device only has one physical button on it. For ports, it’s got Composite video outputs, along with a USB port and a microSD card slot. As said above, it’s using a “Touch Viva” UI which is reportedly very quick and nice looking with lots of rounded fonts. It can playback most media formats you want, including MKV, AVI, MP4, MOV, FLV and H.264 encoding. You can playback 720p content on a TV with those composite cables. It’s a bit baffling as to why they didn’t include HDMI, but I guess it’s because HDMI hasn’t integrated the Chinese tech scene yet.

We don’t know much else about the device. It will come with either 8GB or 16GB memory. No word on pricing or a release date. Unfortunately, this thing will probably only make it to China.
