Default Re: Shame on you, Uxcell!

In reply to MPx Junkie:
Yes, I emailed Admin the lengthy message thread I've had with Uxcell, giving details of the purchase and actions taken to explore the problem.

Uxcell are being responsive enough via email, have asked that the player be sent back, but won't commit to a statement about what the capacity of the player should be in unambiguous terms that can't be misunderstood, such as 2 GigaBytes and not the potentially misleading 2GB.

I'm still not sure if I should send it back - a couple of reasons.
The cost and delay and the chance of it getting 'lost' or ignored.
The likelyhood of a replacement being exactly the same. The damning thing from my viewpoint is the deliberate disparity between the size in the partition table (228 Megabytes) and the layout of the FAT file allocation table (2 Gigabytes) - just like those on eBay which have been confirmed as a deliberate deception.
