If you want a player that looks like an Ipod Nano, I suggest you get a player based on the G-18A-Main-board. Unlike most clones they have the same dimensions as the real nano and they have even got a real Ipod connector instead of the usual USB-connector.

The menu is similar to the real nano, but not the screen you see when listening to music or playing videos.

Yes, the player in the link looks just like mine. I hope you know that there are no firmware available that will make the interface look just like on the real ipod nano.

You can get those 3rd gen iPod nano clones with 30-pin iPod connector on eBay, just search "MP4 3rd gen" or something and hunt through the search results. For example I found this interesting page on eBay, 4GB for $48.95 "Buy It Now" price:

There are no firmware available to make the 3rd gen iPod nano clone have an interface that exactly or closely looks like the actual 3rd gen iPod nano.

YZ Digital and that other place that was mentioned only sell in wholesale, so meaning that you have to buy a certain amount from them (usually a lot).

I would suggest you also look at iOffer, I found a nice offer from them that's worth the look: http://www.ioffer.com/i/iPod-Nano-St...-Slot-37573906

The 3rd gen iPod nano clones can fit the 3rd gen iPod nano accessories.

Can someone confirm that there are nano clones with ipod connectors that have more than 1Gb (non hacked)?

I have only seen 1gb. However I must say that the player has a great build quality and that they look and feel like real nanos (except the menus and the lack of a real click wheel).

so u have the player in that link? the one with the ipod connector? what ive seen it has a real split screen menu and u can have the apple logo on the back, its the best looking clone ive seen. i hope the 4gb and 8gb are real. i wanna get a silver 8gb. or 4gb.

but is there a theme or something to make the music menus and stuff look better?

also what would look better a silver one or a black one?
