Chinavasion’s plug-in MP3 player / FM transmitter / etcetera seems surprisingly useful

Posted in: chinese, Today's Chili

Chinavasion‘s latest piece of steaming trash is actually very un-trash-like, as it thoughtfully meshes a number of in-car technologies into one single cigarette adapter doodad. The Plug-In Car MP4 Player with LCD Display manages to bundle an MP4 / MP3 player, 1.5-inch LCD and 4GB of memory into a device that plugs neatly into your car’s cigarette adapter, and the inclusion of an FM transmitter means that you won’t even need to bring your own DAP to get tunes flowing in the car. Moreover, the SD card slot enables even more jams to be loaded on if you’re embarking on a serious road trip, and the USB socket makes PC-to-whatchamacallit transfers a cinch. We’re truly impressed with just how awe-inspiring this thing is for €21.57 ($29); too bad we don’t trust the quality one bit.

Nokia’s 6208c now official, officially in love with stylus input

Posted in: chinese, nokia, Today's Chili

Nokia’s 6208c (or 6208 classic, if you prefer) isn’t arriving as a surprise, though it is quite nice to see it being made completely official. The rather unique handset was designed with the Chinese market in mind, as it boasts an integrated, removable stylus modeled after bamboo slips for inputting Chinese characters via pen. You’ll also notice a stainless steel back cover, 3.2-megapixel camera (with twin LED flash), a 4x digital zoom and a microSD slot for expanding storage. Mum’s the word on pricing, but it should be loosed in “select markets” during the first half of 2009.

Fakemodo: Undeniable Evidence of iPhone Nano 3G ZOMG!

Posted in: chinese, Today's Chili, top

Here you have it. Un-de-ni-a-ble proof that the iPhone nano 3G exists. Boom. Because, if there’s a knock-off, there must be a real one out there, right? Somewhere! Anywhere? Come on! Think about it, people!

Yesterday, a reader jumped on the tips line saying:

OMG! I FOUND THE NEW IPHONE NANO! CHECK IT OUT MAN! THIS IS THE REAL THING! I BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL IPHONE 3G FROM THEM! AND THAT WAS REAL! THIS HAS TO BE REAL! CAN’T YOU SEE IT?!?!?! OMG! ASDADGAFAAEFGASDGADFASDHHHHH!!!

I tried to put some sense into him: “Dude, do you think a chinese supplier would have an Apple phone before Apple themselves?” But he wouldn’t have it: “COME ON! I KNOW IT’S REAL! IT HAS TO BE REAL! I BOUGHT THREE OF THEM FOR MY FRIENDS FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL IN TEXAS!!!” After a while, I was polite and said good night. It was Christmas Day after all.

It’s not anymore. [China suppliers—Thanks JC—not Jason Chen—and good luck with those amazing iPhone nano 3G with optional Java games and 64 polymorphic tones!]

Update: Here’s a second iPhone Nano shot someone sent to our tip line. How’s that look to you?
