Apple may have launched a series of games for its latest iPods, but other western makers of personal media players (PMPs) have tended to leave gaming well alone.

That's not the case in South Korea, though, where several manufacturers have released PMPs with a gaming twist. The latest is a firm called MyRacer, with its new MF101.

Weirdly, it's got two D-pads – one on either side of its 2.4-inch screen. There's also two PSP-style shoulder buttons, 1GB of built-in memory to store games, plus an SD memory card slot.

What games does it play, though? Flash games, that's what, from various Korean providers including mobile firm Com2uS.

Don't expect to see it on sale in the UK anytime soon, but if you want to try and import one, Technabob reckons you can get it for around the £53 mark (plus shipping) from Korean online retailers.
