Default Elite MP4 DV MP4 MP3 Player Revised Opinion!

It was shipped by Fedex and it permits to track every time where is the player.
I'm italian and the shipping time was 15 days (from order to receive).
I had to pay 16 euros of taxes (19%).
The player is an I-Pod like.
The display is good but mic for audio/video record is bad. It is capable to snap pictures and video and even if the camera aren't good the movie player is fluid. It allow to use it without earphone thanks to a little one built in.
It permits to connect 2 eraphones but they don't have any left/right marks :O
The Camera and Video cam functions are absolutely appaling, so do not buy this player if you are expecting any kind of decent images or video capture.
The images and vidcaps are blurry and not acceptable. Radio is good and MP3 player is good haven't gotten round to watching vids or capturing audio yet.
BTW mine has the Ankya chip.
Does anyone know if the video or camera functions can be improved on this device through firmware or otherwise?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, to answer my own question: There is a cover over the lens with a black rim, I removed this and the picture and vidcam quality improved immensely, but this was not obvious to me nor will be to anyone else.
It looks like part of the camera, but I thought what the hey, it can't make it any worse! ) Still can't get the USB web cam to work, forgot to mention that. Think I need to remove and install all USB ports/devices, may try this at the weekend and let you know the outcome. If anyone else has any ideas feel free to share.
So now I must amend my opinion and say this is a really nifty player and I will now recommend it highly. I got the 1GB version and have a 4GB SD card in it. I got it from Dealextreme - who don't currently have it in stock, but I see it at Chinavasion(note the spelling)
Thanks.
