I like my iPod Touch. I like it a lot. One on the only gripes I have, though, is that it’s not a true widescreen player. Sure, it’s better than the iPod before it, but it’s not a true 16:9 aspect ratio that we’d expect.
Onda has a new PMP with one of those 4.3-inch touchscreens we’re seeing everywhere at 16:9. It’s definitely modeled after the Touch, and supports, like, everything.
You have to bring your own SDHC card, but it supports them up to 32GB, which isn’t bad.
This is just a PMP though: No WiFi, no Web browser, none of that nonsense. If you’re looking at the Touch and don’t care about the Web and PIM functionality, you might want to consider the Onda VX767.

Are these really modeled after the iPod Touch or iPhone? Is it fair to call this a rip off?
These movie/mp3 players are, basically, all screen - with a border. How revolutionary is that design? iPods - that circle interface - thats revolution.
Touch screens aren’t even ground breaking - iPhones just do it the best! Oh yeah, and they take all the glory too.

For a second, I thought that was a “Brokeback Mountain” image on the screen.

I’m actually surprised there are people who would buy the Touch who *aren’t* interested in the WiFi connectivity - as for the same price you can get a Classic with more memory that can still play video.
That said, I love my iPod Touch.
