This whole chipod thing is really intruiging... on one hand, I'm kind of opposed to intellectual property theft, which runs rampant in China, but the other hand it looks like these chipod guys have introduced some real innovation with their products. So that's cool.
Ordered it on Jan 24 so it should be arriving "any day now."

It seems the melting adapter phenomenon is mostly caused by european 240v outlets, that require adapters for the charger. If you're in the US, should be okay, I've never had that kind of problem with any of my Glaciers. And btw, it isn't a Glacier-specific problem. The Glacier uses the same cheap charger that every MP4 player I've bought uses, including the nano clones. If there is any concern, use the USB option.
