Wow! This portable media player allows easy handling, more than ever before. It is portable indeed, but some users will find the integrated handle a little bit wacky.

Besides the funky, rather unusual design line, the device supports MPEG-2 for both audio and video content, but wait until you hear the best part. They, by "they" I mean the Yung Fu makers-cool name for a karate theme movie-have managed somehow to add a DVB-T feature, which basically allows users to browse through 700 channels, just like on the real TV. It is also compatible with NTSC, PAL and EPG, as well. They didn't mention the exact internal memory storage capacity, nor if there's any chance to boost up its brains.

To make the DVB-700 even greater to use, the makers have embedded a 7-inch TFT LCD with a 480 x 234 pixels resolution. Not to mention sharing the media content is also possible, with the use of a built-in speaker and an earphone jack. For an easy usage, the DVB-T comes packed with a remote control. And there is also an AV-out capability and an F-type antenna. The player's dimensions are also convenient ones of 8.25?5.5?1.125 inches and weigh a hefty 1kg.

The player gets juiced up by a rechargeable Li-ion battery, of about 7.4V/1800mA. Private listening is possible via stereo earphone jack. The VDB-700 player also gets a manual and auto search TV channels for better TV management. All in all, the media player is not such a piece of crap as you may think, as its features are not that humble as I've expected.

Sadly, there is no official price tag announced yet, but judging by its features, it should be somewhere under 300 bucks. It may be dubbed Yung Fu, but it does no Kung Fu to save any babes...

However, I may have to take it, but I don't have to like it!
