Very little is known about the Gemei HD8800 portable media player apart from the fact that it will support RVMB, AVI, FLV and MKV video file formats, outputting them to a HD-capable display through its HDMI port. Available in only one capacity, the 8GB Gemei Hd8800 will retail for approximately €70. Not too shabby if it does come with a built-in memory card slot of sorts to further expand upon the 8GB internal memory.

It looks like Popcorn Hour’s C-200 media streamer is making its way into end-users’ hands, so prepare yourself for a flurry of reviews.
