Onda’s 299 Yuan ($45 USD) Offerings
At just 299 Yuan, which directly translates to around $45 USD, Onda are offering the VX530 and the VX530Touch. Raz quite accurately predicted in his video review of the VX530Touch that this thing would ‘probably not break the bank’ and, with a price tag of 299 Yuan, it certainly doesn’t seem to. With ICOO’s recent entries into this price range, it is evident that it is becoming a more popular one. The logical following would be better quality at the same price range, and the ball keeps on rolling.
However, the low price points of these recent players does compel me to take the pricing structure with a grain, or multitude of grains, of salt. Could it be that at such a low price this is a clearing out of stock, or a particularly small production run? What implication does this have for future support or long-term investment into a product? These are all things worth considering.
But, at the end of the end of the day, if you are a Gestalt kind-of-person, the here and the now has this player, with HD functionality, on the cheap. That might be a win in itself. Really, that’s all up to you.
