Shenzhen Yijingling introduces PMP K35: a PSP imitation
If your Sony PlayStation Portable’s a fashion statement, then it’ll probably also be the prime target for imitation. That’s the impression we’re given when we happened upon the PMP K35 from Chinese technological company, Shenzhen Yijingling Technology Co., Ltd.
The PMP K35 may imitate the PSP in appearance and form, but it certainly plays a different tune in function. And we say tune, because aside from playing games contained in Flash storage, the PMP K35 can play and record audio and features a varied set of abilities.
The PMP K35 from Shenzhen Yijingling doesn’t use universal media disc (UMD) technology, so it has to rely on Flash sticks containing pre-formatted games to become a portable game handheld. Of course, this does give rise to a more open platform for homebrew, but in essence, the PMP K35 already has a rich feature set of applications that give it the power to:
- Play music files in MP3/WMA/WAV formats
- Perform as a portable FM radio (only available in units with optional FM tuner)
- Record audio via built-in microphone, line-in function in WAV format
- Manage, read, and browse E-books
- Output its video to other video devices using A/V connection in multiple system formats (TV-NTSC/TV-PAL/LCD)
- Manage and browse through multiple Digicam-formatted images
- Display current time on-screen
- Support multiple languages
- Play MPEG4 ASF formatted movies
- Provide ten thousand (?) calendars
But the PMP K35 can only support up to 1 GB Flash memory and its battery is built-in (probably non-detachable), so it does have its share of disadvantages. Details on pricing haven’t been divulged, and we’re not even sure if the image is the product is still in its concept form. First a portable PS3, then a Vii, and now a PMP. Whatever will they think of next?
