Yoto M300 Widescreen PMP: Apple iPod Touch wannabe

These days it seems every single portable media player is also an Apple iPod Touch wannabe and the Yoto M300 Widescreen PMP is much of the same, but it also has one feature that makes it stand more of a chance than many others, that feature is media file support.

The Yoto M300 (aka Yuantong) may look like most other players and nothing special on the outside, but inside you have support for BMP, GIF, JPG, APE, FLAC, WMA, MP3, FLV, RMVB, XVID, RM, MPEG4, DIVX and AVI. Now does your PMP support all them formats?

The M300 is not as good as the iPod Touch, but we like its file support. Other features include a 3-inch screen with WQVGA (400 × 240), support for games, a built-in speaker, and 800 mh built-in lithium batteries, reads e-books and supports 2 GB TF card expansion. Sadly this PMP only supports Windows XP and Windows 2000, so with no Vista or Mac OS X support, this device will NOT appeal to many music lovers.

It’s interesting to see so many portable media players coming to the market and many of them at really cheap prices, but will the consumer want these lesser-known brands or go for a PMP that is both popular and known.

Would you buy a not known brand to save money?
