Chuwi (who?) announces new handheld
The well known game console manufacturer Chuwi just got done announcing their brand new handheld, the snappily named PHG G8000. It looks to me like just your run of the mill PMP with emulator support, but if it turns into something more, we’ll be sure to let you know, though I very much doubt it. I just wanted to post because of the name. Full specs and pictures after the jump.
Thanks to General Tso.

Wait, “PHG”? That sounds awfully like GPH, some sort of Wiz ripoff? Of course not…
Jokes aside, it may turn out to be a nice console, but until then seems a bit “X”.
