Default Re: NEW rockchip player (Rockchip RK27xx series) availabilit

It look impressive and surely plays impressive too. At least support more video formats and all audio formats available. There is some references to AAC code!!??... which is not even supported in latest versions of iTunes!! AAC seems to be defunct, instead is been used M4A.

I've been confirmed that this of dual core it's not so, it's just RK2706 + Wolfson. It seems that references to ARM7 are due that inside of RK chip there is indeed such processor. RK chips have always had a processor inside, probably an ARM.
When is announced a dual core processor user can think in a very impressive player with lots of capabilities, but it's not the case of Ramos RM970.

For instance it doesn't support NES games for the moment, as it has appear in some publications.
It has a big drawback which is NO FM radio and still RK is not showing cover art... shows a pretty CD running instead

Software is alike to the last version installed in Teclast C260 (RK2606) and is still very primitive and buggy, strangely very similar to ATJ2135. Anyway is more than usual Rockchip software.

This version of RK chip, therefore RM970, support PlayFX which is excellent, especially when is combined with Wolfson DAC. I do have this combination in my Onda VX858 but with older version of RK and Wolfson.

But this Ramos RM970 is according with Youtube video still a simple Rockchip software mounted on a very good machine. IMHO ATJ2135 being a more cheap and buggy software have more features and functionalities, now compared with Cowon D2 (which support Flash in a couple of ways) is really primitive. I mention flash becasue is listed by Rockchip publication.

Anyway we are talking of a player that will cost less than US$ 100.- which is not bad.
