The device is styled after Microsoft's Zune HD and uses a Rockchip RK2806 chipset along with a 3.2-inch display with a 480x320 resolution."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1261053487.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>While Apple's iPod line has had a quadrillion copy cats, Microsoft's Zune has remained relatively unscathed until now.&nbsp; With the Zune HD getting rave reviews it was only a matter of time before similar looking products started showing up.&nbsp; If I were Microsoft, I would feel flattered!&nbsp; The fact that this one comes from MSI is a bit of a surprise, but it appears that the less euphoniously named MT-V660 appears to offer playback for a wealth of formats.&nbsp; Whether it will support the rest of the features a Zune HD offers, and have as slick an interface remains to be seen.&nbsp; One thing that is certain though, is that it will be sold beyond the US border.</p>

What I find so funny about this is that they're able to offer support for video and audio formats that Zune HD owners WISH the Zune HD supported...:rolleyes:

If it's any good and supports Wi-fi and browsing, I'd be interested.
