Don't run, don't be scared, as the tenacious Chinese PMP manufacturers have popped out another baby from their magic pipe. The new China's Phoebe technology decided to try some hard stuff this time. So, they're releasing a brand new PMP that is said to be both seductive and smart.

So, let's see. The design isn't bad, it features a black glossy casing, which is always successful especially when it comes to female customers. On the outside, the device reveals a nice 4.3 inch TFT LCD screen display with a WQVGA resolution. The manufacturers claim that it also brings a whole new plethora of capabilities.

Therefore, it can deal with the most popular file formats on the market, such as: AVI (DivX), VOB, MPG and MPEG video, MP3, WMA and OGG audio files, while supporting JPGs and BMPs. In addition, it follows the latest trends in the industry and supports both English and Chinese TXT formats.

Seems to me we're dealing with a decent, I'd dare to see even dangerous on the market PMP. And if these capabilities aren't enough to satisfy your PMP needs, they even added a video recording, which performs on AVI, audio and MP3 file formats. Not to mention it provides A/V out port for those times when you really want to share your personal content on larger screen.

[IMG=2]In addition, the PMP0642 comes equipped with a Mini USB 2.0 port, but can handle FAT16 and FAT32 filesystems, also. It operates with Windows98SE, ME, 2000 and XP, sorry for you Mac owners.

However, when you play videos, expect the battery not to last more than 3 hours of continuous use. But hey, you'll be able to listen to your favorite audio content for up to five hours. Its size is also convenient, as it measure 142x 82 x 25.5mm, with a little too bulky shape that might not fit so well the pockets of your jeans.

I still wonder about the actual support for kids as they claim it is incorporated in the item. Sadly, I have nothing official on the pricing and availability details, for the time being!
