Either Sony is overcharging the Chinese for the new M70 PMP-series, or folks from this emerging superpower country have too much cash to burn. We just found out that the 8GB, the highest end of the trio - will retail for RMB 2799 ($358 USD). 4GB will cost RMB 2299 ($294) and the 2GB for RMB 1999 ($256 USD). At first we don't see the appeal of this China-exclusive PMP when one can get a PSP for $169.99 and a 8GB MS Duo for about $150. The two share the same 16:9 480x272 screen, and supports virtually the same array of video and audio formats including AAC2, AVC, MP3, WMA and etc. The PSP has an additional advantage of streaming media over WiFi and of course runs over 200+ games. However, reading on reveals that the M70 PMP is a portable DVR though details of the implementation are sketchy. All we know is that the recordings are saved in MPEG-4 SP QVGA in 1.3Mbps at 30fps. The provision of a MS Duo slot helps when storage runs out. It also records FM and analog via 3.5mm line-in, and doubles as a USB host device for importing pics from DSCs. We have to say flash-based Sony M70 is really going after Archos PMPs except the latter use primarily hard drives. About Everything USB
