4GB mp3/mp4 players available !

intrabrew · #1 (**permalink**) 25th Jan 2007, 4:07 am

Hi all,

I've been reading these forums for several months now, and i'd like to inform you guys that genuine 4GB mp3 mp4 players (like the nano clones) are in fact available since a couple of weeks now.
Where do i get this information from ? I've been selling the 1GB and 2GB nano clones for several months now on ebay (mostly in europe - benelux), and my supplier in China (a small factory like there are thousands of them that produce / sell the mp4 players) has always warned me about the hacked 4GB, 8GB players until 2 weeks ago, he mentioned the *real* 4GB's are available. And until now i have no reason to not trust him, so ...
I haven't gotten any until now, but i'm planning of buying/selling these in the next few weeks. Of course most 4GB and higher players on ebay will still be hacked, but i just thought you guys would like to know that the real ones are also out there.
Prices should be around 20 euro more than the 2GB (around 85 euro for a 4GB), so in my opinion its just a little more for double memory size ...

i appreciate your posting here and informing us but then we cant just jump to the conclusion that 4gb players are available and get cheated.

is this really confirmed?

i understand your scepticism ! And no, i'm not trying to sell anything on these forums (that's why i didn't mention my ebay nickname). I've always linked to this forum in all my ads to warn people for the hacked players so they don't get ripped of.
Also, i don't have one yet, so i can't really guarantee this, but i have absolutely no reason to not trust my supplier. He even told me months ago i could get the hacked players from him if i really wanted to (which i obviously don't !) but last week he finally told me the real ones are out ... so i think he's right.

The Actions chipset does support upto 4GB (2x2GB) of memory all these while. The only problem is that manufacturers do not use 4GB. The reason is simply for higher profits.

But anyway, if the news is true that they are really making geniune 4GB players, then it would really be difficult for buyers to differentiate between the genuine and fakes. :S

intrabrew,

Thanks for posting this.
Do you have more information on it?
Did your supplier tell you the chip being used and what the casing of the player looks like? Any more information than just "it's available".

I have no doubt that the 4GB players will eventually come out, it's just a matter of WHEN, HOW and whether it's true or not.

lattesurf has a point when he saids "..difficult for buyers to differentiate between the genuine and fakes"

at the moment i don't have any more info than i've already told you in this thread, sorry.
He just told me 2 weeks ago that he can provide them, and updated his price list with the 4GB model, that's all i know for now.
The fact that i've ordered about 200 nano clones from him now (all with real memory capacities), and that he has always been very helpful and warned me about the fake one's other company's are selling in china, makes me think he's telling the truth, thats all ...

I checked with Samsung, and they do have 4gb chips (32Gb, K9HGB08U1M-PCB) out since late 2006. I've ordered my first batch of 4gb units from my supplier whom I've been dealing with for about a year now.

They only started offering 4gb units this January and only on certain models. I have no reason to distrust them, not after thousands of dollars traded between us.

Does anyone know where I can get the utility for checking hacked memory? I've been doing a site search but have been drawing blanks...

Have a look at this post here: http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-re...k-vp20299.html.

Hope that helps.

intrabrew, i wasnt actually trying to be a sceptic. i was just sad with after reading some of the experiences of the people who had been cheated and how they lost a lot of their hard earned money.

but thanks for the info and if it is really true, then its great news but then like lattesurf said, it would be really difficult to differentiate between the fake and original ones unless we shake hands with someone who is willing to sell the original stuff and link to him

I thought someone made a topic about these coming out already not long ago but I can't seem to find it now??????
