I see there are truck loads of mp4 players are floating around at ebay. Some of them are 8GB selling as low as Rs. 2000/- so does anyone have any idea? do they really have 8GB? whats the cache?

What they say as 1 GB is really 256 MB compressed or atmost 512 MB. The sound quality is crap. And if you format the player even once, then the player will not wake up again.:D

^^very true, stay off them. better go in for branded ones. u can get a creative zen 5gig player online for as low as 3.5k.(dont remember who had posted it tho)

Capacities mentioned are just the lure, their manufacturers have managed to play with da softwares , so they appear to have mammoth capacities. actual capacity will surely reduce to 256 - 512 mb when formated.

Chinese players are waste of money & nothing else.
Either get a branded player like Transcend T-sonic 610 or creative zen.

I just hate fake electronics.Earlier in 2005, I wanted to buy Nokia 3530(At that time it was among the good ones) It's price was something like 9-9.5k.I was going through stores looking for appropriate prices.Then when I stood up in a small store (Sure,you can't expect fake models being sold in Nokia and Sony Ericsson showrooms).That guy tempted me into buying a fake one by mentioning its price as 6K.He told me it has all the features of 3530,But no warranty.I agreed and buyed it and when I went home, I found its voice quality VERY WEAK.Ew.

@Expertno.1

It wont be an Ipod if its fake.It will be "Ipod"

What JXD model did you buy ?

Mine is 685 recently bought which has a 180 deg rotatable camera and cost 3400/-

Overall the product is very good.

Here is a shot taken from my poor 6600 vga cam

"the fake one of mine friend's look like ipod doesn't has touchpad working.....instead there are 4 buttons at 4 corners....only the shape is of ipod....." Yes expertno 1 is absolutely right.it's look like ipod. I'v seen it . But it's very problematic
