Dingoo A320 - the Handheld Game Player

Sept. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Having put my money down to secure a Pandora I’m finally commited to the inevitable but hopefully short wait for the console to be tweaked, finalised, approved and shipped. To pass the time and feed my hunger for some open source console goodness I decided to try and get my hands on a fresh face to the community; the Dingoo A320 and produce a Dingoo A320 review.

At first glance the Dingoo A320 is just another cheap chinese MP4 player, and I suppose at heart that’s exactly what it is. But, Dingoo Digital, the A320s makers have excellently demonstrated that a cheap MP4 player doesn’t have to be a poor product.

The Dingoo A320 does still check the “cheap” box but only just, but also delivers a not-too-shabby 4gb of internal storage, a 2.8″ 320×240 LCD, a 7 hour battery life, gaming controls, TV-out and a very full compliment of emulators that may not be as optimised as they could be.

GBAX will be supporting the Dingoo A320 and are already supplying known community programmers with free consoles to promote the production of more optimised emulators. They may possibly be giving us a centralised, English resource site where Dingoo owners can keep up to speed with the latest software. This is an extremely worthwhile venture considering just how well the quick and dirty emulator ports that the Dingoo currently sports actually run. Let’s hope Dingoo Digital don’t try to further capitalise on their success penetrating the open source community and distract potential A320 owners or developers by diluting their lineup with new models.

Being of MP4-playing heritage, of quirky Chinese manufacture and coming loaded with software and emulators means there’s a lot of ground to cover with the Dingoo A320. I’ll try to keep it brief, but it’s all too easy to ramble when you’re passionate about a fresh-faced little console and eager to see its success.
