Chinese company Onda is set to roll out its VX737 portable media player in the next few weeks. Staying true to its obvious inspiration, the 3.94" x 1.97" x 0.45" device doubles as a classic NES simulator. That's right. Now you can get in some quality Mario time when you're bored with all your MP3, OGG, FLAC, and WAV tunes; AVI, MPEG4 SP, XviD, and DivX videos; and JPG, BMP, and GIF photos.

The VX737 sports a 2.5-inch TFT QVGA display (320 x 240), but the bigger news seems to be the Freescale MC9328MXL processing and Philips UDA1380TT audio decoder chips under its hood. The chips must score pretty high on the power-consumption scale because the player's lithium battery can provide 10 hours of music and 5 hours of video entertainment (though not much content can fit onto the pathetic 512MB built into the device). Other features include an FM radio, voice recording, text viewer, and integrated speaker.

There's no word on pricing or availability, but we don't expect to see it on U.S. shores anytime soon.

I can already play NES Roms on my Archos Gmini402
Only thing is that that has a better Screen
but the 20GB harddrive on the Gmini beats it out

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat T400

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
