Re: 8GB ChiPod's?
 

I have a manufacturer that swears 4gb ipod style nano clone mp3/4 player exist. They're doubling up on 2gb chips.

Re: 8GB ChiPod's?
 

Ya but it's finding the right seller that has them without getting ripped off in the process. Purchase 1 as a sample and open it up and see for yourself if there is x2 2gb chips inside. Then let us know how it goes. Maybe you can post pic's of it as well so others can see. We will appreciate that if you will. So we all can see that there are legit 4gb's out there. Thanks!.

I just came back from Beijing and bought 4G nano clone for 35AUD, windows says their is 4G, but who knows still playing with them.

guest,

Use the MP3 Disk Tool (part of the MP3 Utilities install) and do a LOW format.

Then see what Windows shows up afterwards. Hacked players are getting good now to the point that formatting it in Windows will still show the hacked size instead of the true size.

Hopefully you've got a good dead but I would check anyway just to be sure.

hi there. i just received a '4gb' unit. the first thing i did was use mp3 disk tool. the format screen tells me its 3998.5mb, but the partition and encrypt tells me its 1951mb.
so, it's a 2gb hacked unit, yes?

mcek, It is most likely. 90% of these ChiPods now use an ATJ2085 cpu which I'm told only supports max 2GB flash memory. I have seen pictures in a couple of posts that show 2 memory slots (2x2GB)on the main board but only one slot is being used.

To find out your players true chip size you need to open the player and note the memory chip (the largest on the board) serial number and brand, using this info to do a Google search will generally find you the chip specs.
