Chinese PC maker Lenovo has developed a latest portable media player (PMP) with the new MRT800. While Lenovo is traditionally a manufacturer of very well made PCs and laptops, they have turned their attention to the more portable PMPs after they had already given us the ThinkPad W700d with the slide out screen at the Consumer Electronics Association tradeshow in January 2009.

Features

While the new MRT800 doesn’t really give us any new technology, it does introduce touchscreen technology for PMPs. This new PMP looks basically the same as all the other PMPs on the market today but it does support a plethora of file formats including an FM tuner.

Supported Format:

Video and Audio

o AVI
o WMA
o WMV
o ASF
o MP4
o FLV
o RM/RMBV
o ASF
o OCG
o FLAC
o MP3

Tech Specs

• 4.3 inch 480×272 LCD touchscreen display
• 4GB Memory
• Micro SD card slot
• FM Tuner
• Voice recorder

Price Tag

Currently the price amount as well availability of this new PMP isunknown. However, if the price is less than your average iPod then the MRT800 should sell rather well as most Lenovo products do. Almost all other PMPs on the market are flying off the shelf and a PMP with a touchscreen should equally as well if not better.
