ainol-v1000.jpgRemember taking ducks out with a hip shot and jumping through tubes like it was your job? Ainol does, and it's bringing those old-school console-game days back. Only this time, it's mobile.

The V1000 is an NES emulator, but it's also a one-stop shop for music and movies. The PMP will play AVI/MP4 videos on its 2.5-inch QVGA screen and play MP3 or WMA music files; it supports FLAC lossless, too. The V1000 is powered by the ADI Backfin processor, which  clocks in at 400 Mhz, and it comes with 512 MB or 1GB (for the high-end model) of storage.

The device will have a sleek, silver design, and a manageable five-button layout; it may appeal to consumers who are looking for simplicity and gaming in a nice-looking package. But with pricing or availability unknown at this point, the only thing we have is a concept. So don't put your NES away just yet.

Or if it'll just wind up being vaporware? Dunno, if that photo has anything to say about it, it looks shiny and nice, but I have to back up asd here, it doesn't beat a PSP. Although I have to admit, having to hack the PSP firmware and everything, while not hard, isn't something for everyone. Being able to buy what you want out of the box has serious appeal for some folks. We'll see how it turns out.
