Over the years I've been a member here I've observed a widely held view of Chinese DAP makers. Typically they're written off as cheap and generic. Companies like Teclast and Meizu have the hard job of trying to get rid of such a stigma. They are two of the companies from China that have gotten everyone's attention. Teclast recently announced their newest player, the C280.

The C280 is actually the combination of Teclast's two previous players. Aside from the updated controls, it has the same design and interface as their C260. From the T29 it will get its sound processors, which were apparently better than those on the C260. Here are some of it's features:

Specs:

• 2GB
• 2.4" QVGA screen, 320 x 240 resolution
• Supports MP3, WMA, and AVI files
• FM tuner and recorder/Line-in Recording
• MicroSD slot
• Games, Text, and more
• Battery life: 12 hours
• Dimensions; 80 x 47 x 9.8mm

The C280 will be available later this month and is said to retail for approximately $65US.
