Here in the UK, we've got a straight choice between PSP and DS when it comes to handheld gaming devices, albeit with Gizmondo threatening to resurrect itself later this year.

However, it's different in Asia, where any amount of gadget firms are incorporating gaming into their personal media players (PMPs). The latest is the Gemei X760+, according to Engadget.

Made in China, it has 4GB of internal memory, a three-inch screen, FM tuner and the ability to play all manner of music and video formats. But it's also got emulation tech built in, allowing you to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games.

Oh, and it claims to run "3D games" too, although it's unclear what kind they are - presumably that's one in the product shot above though.

Anyway, the Gemei X760+ costs 599 yuan in China, just £44! Although good luck with finding someone to export it to the UK...
