I'm looking for an mp4 player Nano clone that has the following spec

2GB or more
1.8 TFT screen
Long battery life - more than 4 hours

I have a Nano clone, however the battery is only 4 hours, I would like to upgrade to an 8 hour or more battery is this possible :?:

max2, You could quite easily upgrade the battery provided you could find one the right dimensions.
If your battery is 3.7v 200ma Lithium Polymer you could replace it with say a 3.7v 400ma battery which would double your battery life.

Regarding the player spec you mentioned
2GB or more
1.8 TFT screen
Long battery life - more than 4 hours
I just bought one HERE

Will let you know if it lives up to it's specifications.

Also depends on how long you've had it for and whether you're listening to music or watching videos to it.

What I can suggest is to try to 'minimise' on power consumption by your player as well. Set a 'suspend' or 'screen goes to sleep' setting so if you are listening to music then the screen would go black to save power after say 20 secs or so?

Otherwise, yes, upgrade the battery. I'm not sure who sells them as unfort they are all quite different depending on how the parts are organise internall inside your player.

max2, When I get it I will let you know although I suspect like most of these players it is unbranded.
