CES: Let the Ripoffs Begin!
There were many Taiwanese companies copying the PSP's design and
applying it for their own uses... Some were making portable gaming
systems that play multiple low-resolution, low-quality games, like the
handhelds you're used to buying for $20, but these look like PSPs. The
best knockoff I've seen so far has been the AV880 Pocket Video
Recorder, from WinTek (
www.wintekgroup.com),
a Chinese company. The AV880 looks like a graphite blue PSP (if one
ever existed). It also comes in, hahaha, black. The AV880 records and
plays back audio/video content from its built-in 1.8" 20 gigabyte hard
drive, similar to what the lower end of the Archos media line sports as
well.
