Shenzhen Tongfang Comes with Good Features but Crappy Name

So, uh, what happened? Since when do crappy names hide cool features?! Well, there was a Tomato, an Onion and now there Shenzhen Tongfang! I am not going to discuss the trends in media player names. With so many players popping out on the market like mushrooms after a warm April rain, it would be impossible to have only commonly named electronic items.

As I mentioned before, this media player's name is Shenzhen Tongfang, but besides its silly name, you might want to know the item comes from the same fellows who brought you the PMC-V800 media device. Dubbed PMP 11, or "Aqua Pad" as some engraved letters below the controls propose, this player looks weirder that other devices of its kind...in a good way.

As we continue to stare in amazement at its humble 2 inch 176 x 220 TFT LCD Mediterranean-blue screen, we can easily notice the makers have bundled the device with lots of features that would make you want to dive deep inside its buoyant body casing.

Regarding the player's specs, it can deal with a bunch of popular file formats on the market, such as MP3 and WMA for the music content, as well as AVI for the video one and JPG and BMP for the photo files. As for its extra stuff, the player features a built-in FM radio and games capabilities. The player's file transfer is done using the USB 2.0 interface.

Sadly, there isn't any price tag attached to this player, so there's no way of telling how much of this is functionality and how much is appearance.
