I again want to mention that there is a difference between Unbranded and "Public Brand" (or I shoud say, not all unbranded players are created equal). I posted this in another thread but I think it applies here. It is fine to buy an unbranded version of a player provided it really is an unbranded version of the same player as produced by the OEM of a name brand (Onda, Teclast for example). This type of unbranded player comes in generic packaging and without the name brand startup logo - that is unbranded-OEM. It is another thing to buy a "public brand" mp4 player. The "Public Brand" is what they call it in China when more than one (usually several) manufacturers make what is basically the same exact player, all sold without any kind of branding. They use the reference design for the PC board from the chip solution manufacturer (Rockchip for example) and they use the reference design for the firmware from them as well. Yes, these public brand players can be trouble and not worth the time and money for most although you might get lucky. It might be a good thing for people on this forum to review their public brand players as well as listing where they bought them. Just remember, since several people make what is essentially the same player and several vendors sell what looks like the same players, it might be difficult to buy the same player. I would put clones into this public brand category. I saw so many Teclast and Onda clones at CES Las Vegas back in January it was hard to keep track of them.
