Default hey I got one of those

Hey Soulsmasher, I bought one of those from Ebay. Mine looks like your photo,
what happened with mine is I spilled coffee on it and the battery doesn't work anymore
so I ordered some Li-on batteries and am waiting for them. I'm guessing the coffee fully
discharged the Li-on and now it won't charge ever.

Anyway, it was ok the one weekend I used it, and you scared me with the 2Gb hacked thing
but I have over 2Gb of video on it so it has over 2Gb (hopefully 16!) even though it won't play
most of the videos. I did find a converter though and a program that recognises it
(Rockwell chip) for video conversion.

However I've consigned it to experimental gadget status because of the battery issue and because I
bought a similarly cheap and crappy 4.3 inch one which has amazingly badly designed interface
- can't drag the progress bar on a mp3 or video - ouch. Also this one was kind of dim so only use it
in fairly dark. Also have to hold it a foot or so in front of your face to get best viewing. However it
was better than nothing that weekend stuck in the hotel room.

Let me know more about yours please.
