OPPO Blast PMP is blowing up your FLVs

July 25th, 2007 | Category: Portable Audio

OPPO, a PMP maker we’ve come to expect some interesting designs from (see the guitar-shaped DAP and the pendant player), is bringing something a little increasingly tame to market. The 6.9mm thick Blast sports a 2.4-inch TFT screen, takes microSD cards, and can play back all the standards, like MP3, WMA, MP4, AVI, XVID, and FLAC, which is all well and good, though we’ve seen a million of these and counting. What’s different in that case

— at least a little — is that the Blast can supposedly play back FLV files, which gives it a positive modern flavor, and suggests that even mass-produced China-ware is getting caught up in the YouTube game. Not available anywhere even shut to the US, price unknown.
