NEW actions chip (Actions ATJ2135) - player availability

[DaremoS]

Specifications of screen are impressive:

2.8" - 320x240 - 16 millions colours

This is KH Aiwa... I suppose a Chinese filial of Japanese Aiwa... it's very nice so see others beauty in their assortment as it is AW-A680 which is Teclast C260 which sport the Swiss chip RK2608A.
Rockchip is usually mentioned in China as Swiss chip.

Here is a company that have many ATJ-2135: 4 models of 2.4" and 3 of 2.8"

Typical OEM company they show a place where to put the "LOGO" of your brand

i saw these people and was impressed by the styles

but they all look like "mock up" designs rather than actual pictures of actual players i.e. they are made in photoshop

what do you think?

very nice designs though, really like the last really like the last of the 2.8 models - looks very snazzy

This player appears everywhere when you google "ATJ 2135" and yes... it appears as projects instead of real players...

good find DaremoS

i have read that the 2137 will be linux bases OS, but not this one, if it is then great

i think that the chips and firmware we have are just the very beginning and hopefully most of what has been proposed by actions will eventually arrive

OTG is partly there isnt it, with the file transfer from card to player, thought it may be good for the camera to empty my card but the player will not even show the images, seems the images are too large for it to handle, so much for that idea

cant wait till development steps up on this chip, i think it has massive potential, but needs refining

@makd511, DaremoS,
Thanks for showing us the future .

If I ever buy another MP4 player, i'll make sure to buy a 2137 or later based one. The specs are extremely nice! Really, I thought Actions will not make big deal and they will be surpassed by the competition but it seems that we haven't seen the last from them. Good job Actions! You just (re)won a customer .

this seller does not seem to realise that this is a new actions chip, by the screen shot it certainly is but the specs do not really reflect the capabilities of the chip -

may be a good idea to check with the seller to confirm before buying that this is an ATJ2135 based player - reasonable price though for 2gb

This last one seems to be one of the products of Orbit manufacturer shown some messages above (the one of Photoshop players) it's exactly the one that seems to be more real :lol:
