My newest Nano Guide on eBay.

I was trying to look for a review on a Nano clone on eBay, and even after finding over 3,500 for that damn Apple player, I couldn't find a single one on a Nano clone! Not even on an MP4 player, despite hundreds of these things being sold on eBay everyday. So I decided to write one. Then I found out that eBay only allows you to write guides for pre-chosen products, and the one in the mp4 category was sucky and something no one heard about. So I slapped together a guide-slash-review on my Nano clone and the Apple Nano. It's called: "The-Official-Nano-Clone-Buying-Guide-iPod-v-Chipod" (shhh... dont tell anyone, but it hasn't been officially sanctioned as being official....). If anyone's interested, its here: :arrow:

Nice writeup.
You might want to also mention that the chipods have more tools availble for modding and customising. Not sure if I saw it there (maybe it's my blind eyes failing me....).

Also mention support you get from them is good too - like this site

yeah good job michiganjfrog, very thorough review... 1 thing though, you CAN play games on a real ipod nano (I thought I saw something in your review saying you couldn't). I dont know about the 1st generation, but on my friend's 2nd generation I was playing a couple.

Thanks for letting me know the iPod Nano's can play games. I really don't know much about the Apple iPod's, having never owned one, so having never heard about it, I just assumed they didn't.

I was already thinking of mentioning the Chipods are hackable/customizable, but then I did research and found the iPods are too... I don't know how much "more" customizable the Chipods are and if that really matters, but I'll consider mentioning that. I could mention this site as I did in my other guide, but I won't be able to publish the proper link, on account of eBay's rules against posting links of off-eBay sites.
