I’ll admit this is a teeny bit tenuous, since the Hacha PF02 is only an MP3 player while the Vertu Signature is a fully-fledged and bejeweled mobile phone…but you have to admit the lookalike-ness is pretty amusing. And the fact that a $US15 naff screenless MP3 player with 2GB of storage, USB 2 connectivity and MP3, WMA and OGG files compatibility can pump out your tunes while a $US10,000 mobile phone can’t is priceless.

And that includes video playback, not just audio.
The Hacha has just been announced as an Australian-based PMP and DAP brand, selling to the world from their base here in Oz. We’ll be getting our hands on a unit soon for a full review, but on paper things certainly seem like a good deal at $180. Video, audio, FM radio, audio recording, even a game that I’m sure is entirely their own creation, called ‘Russian Bricks’.
Full spec list after the jump.
They must have found some kind of secret alien touchscreen factory in Asia, because everybody there keeps releasing products with touch capabilities. Like this Hacha PA20 from Hoi Chang. There are no details about it except that it has a color 3.2-inch touchscreen and that products like these will probably start invading the world by the end of the year. Why? Maybe it’s because of the iPhone hype. Perhaps it’s because everyone really believes touch surfaces are the next thing. The question is: would you buy a product over a competing one just because it has a touch-screen? – Jesus Diaz
