Baidu Digital B618 portable media player

Baidu Digital’s B618 portable media player boasts something that is missing from the others – it comes with a dual core processor, although so much processing horsepower underneath the hood certainly makes us wonder whether this is overkill or not. Still, that ought to provide enough juice for smooth delivery of 720p video playback alongside support for a wide range of codecs including H.264 (High Profile /Main Profile), Real 8/9/10, WMV7/8/9, MPEG1/2/4, DivX3/4/5, Xvid, H.263, compatibility with RM, RMVB, AVI, MKV, WMV, MP4, 3GP, MPG, MPEG video formats and MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC audio formats. No idea on pricing, but this little PMP that could will hit the Chinese market in a few days’ time.
