Here are some real life picture from the clones. The interface is the "classic" Actionchip style.

wow.. pure knockoff.. looks exactly the same as the real deal, except for the interface. Let's give it 1 month and see who is the first person to post a thread about problems for this player.

I will be that one, just bought a 4gb version from mp4nation. I will give a review when it arrives. Price was 52 Euro for a 4GB version shipping included. Even when it sucks it will never make me bankrupt.

Thank goodness there's no red one. They must be good!

well in our defense, we keep it because there is a demand and although i would prefer not to carry it, other people involved with MP4 Nation feel it should be there.

If a person buys one on our site, then the buyer knows what they are getting, as quality goes, we don't hide the fact that iSlims have the lowest audio and video quality on our site, but for many that is all they want and all they can afford. These type of players are just glorified S1MP3 players.

Our players are of a lot better quality and they use the newer action chipsets than those sold on eBay, if a problem arises, we will fix it.

At least on our site people have the chance to make their own decision and choose without being tricked. So a person chooses a iSlim player, they know what they are getting. I would rather see people save up and buy something better than a iSlim.

Razzer001, how can we compare the iSlim Tubby to the iSlim iTap. Is the iTap a Actionchip player in another suit or are there fundamental differences between Tubby and iTap (besides the shape and the SD slot)?

damn these clones...despite all the warning i actually bought one of these so called "3rd Gen Clone"..

at first it was ok...fully charged the player,put in some songs and videos...BUT...

after a few hours of listening to music,it turn itself off and won't turn on anymore. luckily it was still under warranty and i sent it back to the seller for a replacement.

anyone knows what's the problem with these players? manufacturer's defect or damage caused by rough-handling of the courier company?

i hope the replacement is okay...if not the dead player makes a good paper weight :lol:

sylar...

what most likely happen, baring nothing was wrong with the player mechanically, is that the memory was hacked, and when you load more songs onto the player than what the real memory size is, then it corrupts the disk and will cause your player to not work anymore.

jo gobel..the player was advertised as 2gb...i loaded in about 100~200mb worth of songs and video to test it out...i dunno probably it was hacked or anything...you're taking chances when u buy one of these "mp4" players

sorry i just saw your question Hotboxx - the iSlim iTap and Tubby are somewhat different, the iTap is action based, but its UI is much nicer and the player seems to react faster than the tubby. Also the iTap has heat sensitive buttons and not push button.

sylar_jones: the truth isn't your taking a chance when you by these 'mp4' players - you take a chance when you buy the cheapest, bottom dollar mp4 item on eBay - if you even paid a few dollars more, you probably would have gotten a good reliable player. Sadly most people don't realize this untill they get their player and by the time (if they bother) to send it back to get fixed or whatever, they would have spent more than if they bought a little more expensive one.
