We ordered three chipods, and they were each supposed to be 8gb, but turns out they're 2gb. One stopped powering on at all...have yet to find a solution for that. I have posted something else on here about using the rest of the "fake memory" as storage space. It is working well for me, so far. I have an avi of about 300mb and four albums in mp3 format stored, and all is well....as I said, SO FAR!
I agree with you : Why not just sell them for what they are? It's a good deal for a 2gb player!

UPDATE : About ten miutes after posting the above things, I went into the extra drive to store some photographs. As soon as I created a folder, it filled it with symbols and copies of the movie and albums I'd placed on it. I am about to try to repartition the player again...backing up my stuff as I type...and see if I can gain that extra 500 or so mb of space on my mp3 player. No storage volume after all, but hey, it was still a pretty good price for a 2gb chipod, too. I only paid about $21.
UPDATE ON UPDATE : I repartitioned it again, but I didn't gain an extra 500mb, as I'd hoped. I gained a little, though. After experimenting with various numbers, I set the slider on the Partition tab to 6010, and it formatted my mp3 player to 1909mb with no storage drive now. Just wanted to let you know!
