Oppo’s been known to add a hint of style to its PMPs in the past, and it looks like that touch of beauty is still apparent on the Super Five. This unit features a three-inch display, sleek top-mounted controls and support for a smorgasbord of formats including RM, RMVB, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG, AVI and 3GP. Furthermore, it’ll also play nice with MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG and FLAC files, while the integrated photo viewer supports JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG.

Not that it comes as much of a surprise, but Nintendo’s growing market value doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of letting up, with the company now crossing the 10 trillion yen mark (or roughly $85 billion). That magic number now makes Nintendo Japan’s third biggest company (up from fifth place just a few months ago), with only Toyota and Mitsubishi edging it out for first and second place, respectively. As Reuters points out, the new value is nearly triple what the company was worth before it launched the Wii late last year (although the DS no doubt had a fair bit to do with that as well), and a fivefold increase over what it was worth two years ago.
