Itoko dingoo digital A-320 Emulator

our chinese friends came out with another handheld device, that this time looks really good and promising, allowing great emulation of

nes-snes-gba-genesis-and even cps1 and 2

and also being able to play video, music and much more

video of it running is here:
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCE2Vv4Srvw
and here for multimedia
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=76EWGXDT9OY
price is said to be around 75$

does anyone here have one? i'm really interested in this one, but i'd like to hear from our fellow experts here before buying... and also if many are interested (and the item is good enough) we might get special price... (this is just an idea, obviously).

Don't have one of these but it does indeed look promising. Reminds me of the bottom portion of the DS lite a little

Thats pretty snazzy. One of the few devices I've seen that can play GBA games as well. I pretty sure I played with one at CES in the international section (or something similar). IIRC I think the plastic buttons felt a little cheap, and its not much bigger then a gba micro. Also take my words with a grain of salt, there is a good chance that it was something completely different and I'm off my rocker.

In anycase, I would pick one up if I could, be fun to play with and fulfills my gadgetwhore quota.

This kind of stuff is all over China. It's just the run of the mill emulator/media player thing. Probably wouldn't pay that much for one all things considering. I think they have a few for sale on Taobao.

Actually, they have GSM phones now that fold open to a keyboard/game pad like the DS. Those are more usefull since you play when you have spare time.

All I can find out about it is that it has a 500 MHz CPU. I'm assuming x86-alike to make the software side easier, but I'm probably wrong... anyone got more info?

It's nice to see they finally made one of these with a proper button layout. Looks pretty decent actually...

I noted that the keys are really stiff to control. They make a really sound click every time you press it.

If its a 500 MHz CPU in a portable device, its likely to be ARM(most cellphones and PDAs and stuff use various ARM variants for example, as do the GBA and DS)

I don't think you can order from Taobao even if you wanted too. I think you need a Chinese address, bank account, etc. Not sure if she (wife) has a Taobao account (I don't), but if the price is much cheaper in China she might get one as a gift when she goes back.

It's called a translator. Google have one. Use it.

As for the problem with not having accounts etc., you'd have to do the usual. Have a contact in Hong Kong (friend or a commercial service) that would be prepared to buy it for you. That will, of course, cost extra.
