Oppo MP3 / Game portable????

Cool. Says it appears to be a rendering, but apparently there is a device coming soon.

There are enough crappy Chinese MP3 players to fill a toxic Shenzhen waste dump many times over, but the Oppo Muse G11, with its traditional d-pad and promise of 8-bit glories emulated: I want.

While some of the photos here clearly show a real device, you can see that modesty has inclined lil' Oppo to only be shown from the rear, save for in chaste rendering form. So hopefully the d-pad and traditional SNES/PlayStation four-button config makes it to the final stages of production. News today is pricing: 1099 yuan, or $160. That only appears to buy you a paltry 4GB, but throwing together a true emulation platform along with some pedestrian MP3 playing capabilities into decent-looking swivel-screen hardware doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

Looks pretty cool.

I've only flirted with the idea of an MP3 player. 'cause as everyone knows; MP3s are the first step toward a godless overcompressed audio society.

But maybe.

It's not a bad idea for "on the go" functionality. If Oppo's making it, it will probably be pretty nice.
