Other NMT based devices
Syabas and the main OEM devices can mean that there appear to be many differing NMT devices. The more infrequent listed below:
- Bollo NMP-SE
- CMI SYVIO-200A
- Dragontech ioBox-100HD
- dueple.se Dueple 700D
- sunohd.com Suno SN-HD101
- Kaifa EP 6000
- Dr. HD XF100
- Raidsonic IcyBox MP309HD
- EM7070 hdMEDIA High-Definition Media Player
- BBK PopcornTV
- Myka
These devices tend to be either OEM releases from Syabas's main partners, in particular eGreat have quite a few eGreat M31A clones around such as the EM7070 hdMEDIA High-Definition Media Player. The Dueple 700D looks like an Egreat M32B clone. Users report Dueple do NOT release firmware updates!
If you seek advice on the forum tell us which device your NMT is firstly, and if its a clone tell us which type of better known NMT it is based upon.

Media formats
One of the criteria which makes the difference between the NMTs is the number formats each of them plays. Since the NMTs share a similar hardware and software architecture, most of the accepted formats are common. But some of them offer special features, including some supported media formats.
