    Yea I will. Is there away I can take a video of it and upload it so that you guys can see what it looks like? I will tell you guys as much as possible about it. I really wish I could figure away to put ipod firmware on it. Hopefully I can, I'll just experiment with it a little.

    Anyone got any suggestions about how to put the ipod firmware on it?

    it seems pretty good but don't you need more space to put movies on you're ipod?
    If I purchased one, i would be worried about lossing my earbuds because you can't buy new one's.Or can you?

    What's the batterry like?
    does it seem delicate?
    What's the menu like?
    How do you navigate through the menu(if it has one)?

    iPod firmware won't work on it because it doesn't have the same componenets as an iPod. It would be looking for hardware that isn't there, and there would need to be some hefty editing to the firmware to be able to properly navigate the menu without a click wheel.

    I lOVE my fake nano.
    I got the 2 GB one for $80 shipped on ioffer.com

    It doest have the navigation like the real nano, but its just as good.

    Video is O.K. had to use the program it came with which was written in chinese, but it was easy to use even in chinese!!

    works GREAT as portable drive, and 2GB for $80 cant be beat

    Color screen is real nice too

    Alright guys, I thought so, and it's unfortunate. I purchased one of these one day on ebay. So it says the original price of these is roughly 40 bucks (us), right? Well, when I got to the checkout it was about $97 because of the exchange rate and a manadatory security deposit. Luckily, I didn't have to buy it. But just beware of anything from Hong Kong. Now, I live in the US, so it may be different for other countries. Just check it out beforehand and save yourself a hassle!

    Ok first off scotty015 please dude visit mympxplayer.com and get that chineese changed to english!

    Next: The battery last for a bout 3 days if you listen to about 2hours of music a day. The videos: it comes with a thing that can convert any formatt of movie or video to AMV or MTV, it like 300MB to 60MB and yes the quality is still good. Its crazy, its just like an ipod nano. Also the navigation: it dosen't have a click wheel, but you just use the rewind for down and fastforward for up and menue for selecting on things.

    The firmware: You can make custome firmware for it. At mympxplayer.com they are making a firmware that looks just like the ipod firmware. Its pretty much done, it looks really great and works out pretty good.

    1GB: It reallly does hold 1GB of music and pictures and videos.

    Hex editing: We need people over at mympxplayer that knows a thing or two about hex editing. SO that we can get the firmware just like the ipod. So if you know anything we can use your help.

    Any more question fell free to let me know.
    I have an extra one if anyone wants one.

    Does it work well with i-tunes? Does I-tunes even see it? Does it work on a mac? Does it integrate with i-photo?

    so many questions... so little time!
