Chinese company introduces PMP K35: PSP imitation - Image 1If your Sony PlayStation Portable's a fashion statement, then it'll probably also be the prime target for imitation. That's the impression we're given when we happened upon the PMP K35 from Chinese technological company, Shenzhen Yijingling Technology Co., Ltd.

The PMP K35 may imitate the PSP in appearance and form, but it certainly plays a different tune in function. And we say tune, because aside from playing games contained in Flash storage, the PMP K35 can play and record audio and features a varied set of abilities.

The PMP K35 from Shenzhen Yijingling doesn't use universal media disc (UMD) technology, so it has to rely on Flash sticks containing pre-formatted games to become a portable game handheld. Of course, this does give rise to a more open platform for homebrew, but in essence, the PMP K35 already has a rich feature set of applications that give it the power to:
  • Play music files in MP3/WMA/WAV formats
  • Perform as a portable FM radio (only available in units with optional FM tuner)
  • Record audio via built-in microphone, line-in function in WAV format
  • Manage, read, and browse E-books
  • Output its video to other video devices using A/V connection in multiple system formats (TV-NTSC/TV-PAL/LCD)
  • Manage and browse through multiple Digicam-formatted images
  • Display current time on-screen
  • Support multiple languages
  • Play MPEG4 ASF formatted movies
  • Provide ten thousand (?) calendars
But the PMP K35 can only support up to 1 GB Flash memory and its battery is built-in (probably non-detachable), so it does have its share of disadvantages. Details on pricing haven't been divulged, and we're not even sure if the image is the product is still in its concept form. First a portable PS3, then a Vii, and now a PMP. Whatever will they think of next?

PSP LCD Remote with FM radio - Image 1You all know what to expect with these accessories for your PlayStation Portable (PSP). Sometimes they are really something and useful, other times they are just completely unnecessary. We found one today over at online site Brando.com and we'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to get one or not.

The product itself doesn't have a proper name but it is actually an LCD Remote for your handheld. We believe the selling point of this product is its built-in FM stereo radio. Not to be cynical but the said site actually misspelled the word "radio" and
again, it's your call if you'll be turned off by that or not.

Anyway, it was mentioned that the product offers complete remote functionality with your PSP not to mention its easy-to-switch function between radio and PSP mode. Take note though that the LCD Remote doesn't come with its own battery so its power source is coming directly from the console.

The Read link below should take you to the product page and kindly tell us what you think about the product. On a last note, be informed that LCD Remote is not an official Sony product. The online site originates from Hong Kong.

ScummVM


Four months of being silent sure is a hard feat to do. And to make up for lost time and opportunity, we are happy to tell you that the triumvirate of Joost, Thomas and Paolo, have recently updated ScummVM, to v0.9.1. If it's been too long since the last update and you do not have an idea what is this all about, ScummVM is a program that allows you to run certain classic graphical, point-and-click adventure games.

This release is home to major bugfixes and some improvements. Plus, three additional platforms are now said to be officially supported: Nintendo DS, GP2X, and GP32. The bugfixes are the following:
  • Many fixes for Humongous Entertainment games and better support for international versions of the games
  • Improved detection of the FM-TOWNS version of Indy3
  • Several fixes for The Feeble Files and more non-English versions are supported now
  • Some parts of the Kyrandia engine were rewritten so the game needs less CPU power now, and thus works better on lower-end devices
  • The PSP, PS2 and WinCE ports were greatly improved
  • The PalmOS port is again up-to-date and features separate build for Tapwave Zodiac
  • The WinCE port supports 2002 devices again
The full release notes awaits after the jump!
