Did anyboby buy this PMP from Tinydeal?

[Hit]

I really want to know some more about this player:
http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=584

Is it any good?, how does the menu look
How long does music play without backlight
I think Tinydeal gives way to less information and pictures about their products, the information they give suffers from a lot of details for example AVI(It's a container but what formats, Divx? Xvid?)

right

this is a new rockchip rk2706 player and as such is quite capably, member hotboxx just got one of he and did a review on it

it will play AVI in divx or xvid at varying quality and size, it also plays FLV, RMVB too

as for the UI, it will be noting spectacular, but can be modded in its looks quite easily

at the end of th day the chip used is quite capable, even more capable if they ever did updates for these cheap players as branded players have now got several more movie codecs you will never see on this player

this is the link to the hotboxx review with, as ever from hotboxx, plenty of images

Hard decision for me, you are an expert what would you go for

Ramos RM970 *GB(Unbranded but works with updates), from MP4nation - $74.50

The one discussed http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...e4abf2b0134a39 - $57.65

Or the one above http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...e4abf2b0134a39 - $56.92


The one I like most is http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...e4abf2b0134a39 But I don't know if it's a wise decision

Also I wonder if those Ramos RM970 themes are compatible with all the players above

[makd511]

main difference

the ramos unbranded has more functionality as it can use the updated firmwares from several re branders (ramos, mobiblu, pentagram), things you may like to have are video resume, fit to screen, extended battery

the one you want is good for the price but you are stuck with the firmware and functionalty that comes with it, and it ismore than likely you will never find any updates fr the player to extend its capabilities

they are cheap, 8gb for that price is very tempting, but you get what you pay for, and that is a non updatable player with lesser build quality

ramos themes wil not work on the players from tinydeal, only the ramos and unbranded ramos as they are the same player from same factory, thesmes are specific to a player and cant be swapped around at will, but you can theme the tiny deal players

personally my tinydeal players and a few others so far have not been good, mine had broken rar socket on arrival and has crashed 3 times where the firmware has ust wiped of for no reason, and i am not even modding or messing with it as my daughter use it, but it ust loses the firmware for no reson, a few others with the same player as me (747 rockchip fake) are also experiencing problems

these cheap tinydeal players are tempting but you do get what you pay for and i feel you need to be a bit techy and wiling to experiment to get them to work properly, i would say get the ramos if you want a MUCH better screen (16 millio colors) and to take advantage of the updates that the tiny deal players will never see as firmware updates are not going to happen I asked them this)

If price is an issue I'd say that this player is probably about the best that tinydeal have got on their site:-


I am happy with mine now, but I did have to play around with it and it doesn't have the extra features the RAmos has.

So if you can pay a bit more then get the RAmos from MP4nation, you'll get better support , a better player and proper quality control.

Well price isn't much of a problem but I mean if it's available cheaper I prefer a cheaper one

Do you know if there are any noticeable differences(Performance, bugs) between ramos RM970 and the TinyDeal KNC clone one
Also I wonder wether the Tinydeal one accepts 8GB Micro SDHC
I found some ebay listings saying upgradeable 16GB - 32GB
I also found an ebay listing that has one with TV-Out I like that but I think it costs much more for just that extra feuture:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/8-GB-3-ZOLL-TV-OU...QQcmdZViewItem

Maybe there is some shop like tinydeal selling one with tv-out

[knob]

All RK2706 players are supposed to support SDHC, but I can't confirm this as I don't have one to try.

Is an FM Radio important?, the one mine had was very poor reception.

btw the card slot is not as good as it sounds, if you did add 8GB you can't access all at once as a 16Gb total, you have to mount the card on it's own from the player's menu, afiak all card slots on mp4 players work this way

[Hit]

FM Radio is not so important
I don't really understand what you mean by the Micro SDHC card
How can't you access all at ones you mean like songs from internal and microsd are separately sorted I understand that
I was mainly planing to install 8GB microsdhc just for movies alone so that wouldn't be a problem at all

Oh one more very important question for me, does it have a Shuffle function in the way of just a button in the main menu
I used to have an ipod and I always just pressed shuffle button didn't do other things like searching for single songs or albums to play(That's why I sold my expensive ipod classic)

[knob]

Good idea putting all the vids on the card, should work fine for you.

You access the shuffle option from the Menu "M" button but only whilst a track is playing.

So you start playing a track, press the "M" button,
a menu pops up, then select play mode, then select shuffle, from then on the setting will be be saved until you select play mode again and change it back to ordered.

You can also sort by artist, album and genre and add tracks to a favourite list.

[Hit]

I see I can live with that, an Shuffle button would be easier but that option works fine

The last thing I want to know is how does the back look like
Because I want to know if it's scratches with my ipod classic it scratched the first day I got it and bought bulky protection making it even bigger

I'm going to buy it off of ebay, as I like the ebay system
I found this seller which seems to be Tinydeal it self and is even 2 Euro cheaper :P

Edit:
Now I finaly decided to get this player, I still find it hard to pick one because there seem more then one of these

I think this one is quite nice because it has TV-out
http://cgi.ebay.nl/NEW-GENUINE-8GB-8...QQcmdZViewItem

But it is an different one because I saw that the TV-out versions have an different menu like this:
Meaning that I don't know if it functions the same
