Thanks for that info. I was suspecting that as a matter of fact. It's interesting that the thing came with a booklet, written with badly structured english, which has a picture on the front that is obviously a real ipod! It would be nice if the booklet had any actual info in it other than "how to plug in your player" and "how to use the photo viewer" blah blah... Still, there must be some way to find out what chips are inside this little thing. The hardware at least seems pretty decent, and I mod everything I ever own that can be modded, anything from a phone to a router to a laser pointer! I'm just sure that this hardware is capable of running a much better firmware with a much better gui, but whether or not this firmware exists is another question. Probably not. I still won't be comfortable till I somehow find out what chipset the thing is using or even who manufactured the chipset, and referably take a shot at actually modifying firmware one way or another. I hope I don't smash it open!! Anyone have any ideas about some way to identify the hardware with some sort of software? MP3 player tools didn't do it unfortunately, but surely that's not the only method of querying the hardware.
