14 DAY TRIAL // Everything is possible in China - from copying electronic items to creating devices that are not what they seem to be. Celland Enterprise sounds less familiar than the Enterprise starship itself, still they claim to be an electronic manufacturer that adds decent stuff to its portfolio.
Recently, the Chinese company has popped out a rather unusual personal photo frame, which resembles an undersized digital photo frame. Since they couldn't decide upon an appropriate name, the media player should remain in the average electronics history as the Unknown PMP.
However, its features are not something to kill for - it sports a simple and easy to handle form shape, and nothing special in its design line. Regarding its capabilities, the player is said to be able to deal with a lot of common file formats, such as WMV, VOB, DAT, DivX, XviD and MPEG-4 for the video media content. Music formats include MP3 and OGG audio files.
It can also perform photo slideshows, being fully capable of reading JPEGs. Not to mention that, whenever needed, the media device can double itself as an e-Book reader, for TXT type of file formats. Besides that, the player gets juiced up through a single built-in rechargeable Lithium battery, enabling up to 4hr of video playback and up to 6hr of music files entertainment.
It's good to know it reveals a decent 2.8 inch LTPS screen display - not very wisely chosen - and a couple of extra specs such as an integrated voice recorder, as well as an AV out feature. Its internal flash memory capacity is said to be of about 8GB, more than enough if you're a regular music fan. Still not enough? Well, you also get to expand its 'brain' via the built-in SD card slot. There is no info about the maximum expansion size.
The portable media player's dimensions are convenient ones of 80 x 60 x 18 mm, weighting about 115 grams. All in all, there is nothing awkward or extra special about this Chinese PMP, except for the fact that it looks like a mini digital photo frame. Could this be the next trend in the electronics industry? Disguising a certain device in another one? Well, how about that?
