The '''Dingoo |
The '''Dingoo''' ({{zh|c=丁果}}) is a handheld gaming console that supports music and video playback and open game development. The system features an on-board radio and recording program. It was sold to consumers in three colors: white, black, and pink. It was released in February 2009 and had sold over 1 million units. {{Citation needed|reason=Chinese device makers are notoriously secretive in relation to any commercial data. Given disputes over something as basic as the origin company for this console, the 1 million sold claim must be treated with skepticism until verified.|date=January 2013}} | ||
