Computercityinc.net MP4 players?

I should like to know if anyone of you have ever bought from this webshop: computercityinc.net They offer MP4 4GB with 2,5´display at 59 US dolars.The advert says the player has I-tunes 5.0 features and 55 hours battery life.
I am a little afraid because I have bought 40 MP4 from Ebay LCguard and It has been a fraud.They are only 1GB not 4GB.
I have sent email to this people and they answered that their MP4 players are made in JAPAN.
Please if anyone can give me information of this people and players I will be very pleased.

Thanks a lot

I personally think they are hacked players.

Many reasons:

1. I have yet to find a true 4GB MP4 player. There are iPods which are 4GB but that's because they use two 2GB chips.

2. The price is too good. The saying "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't" is what I'm thinking. Do a search on the internet. Try to find yourself a 4GB memory stick for example and I bet you, you will find it very hard to get a 4GB memory storage device for USD$66.

3. USD$7 difference between a 2GB and 4GB player? Hum.... 2GB more memory for only an extra USD$7?

The site doesn't mention an address, which means who knows where they operate from.

Personally, I would say away from 4GB players until they are actually true and out in the market.

They even stole this picture of Uxcell's website:

Just compare the websites, what a coincidence! The amount of served customers is exactly the same!

emailed them myself the other day asking them to asure me that their players are not hacked, told them i was a seller at local flea market and would not want an angry mob trying to lynch me because i sold them something that wasnt exactly what i said it was.....no reply.
So yes this is a scam site. if it were just a few hundred miles closer, i would drive there myself
