Today I recieved an identical looking player with the same chipset but firmware version 9.0.50. The menu layout is for horizontal use, only videos are played back vertically to make use of the screen's aspect ratio.
For such a rather cheap device (32€ for 2GB via Ebay) the player indeed is impressive, the only downside so far is the flimsy on-off-switch and bad recording quality
/Edit
The firmware seems to be a little buggy. The player memorizes which file in which folder he played last and tries to return to this file after a restart, but if the folder was deleted in the meantime the audio function will always display "empty disk" and quit immediatly although the player is full of other files. Unfortunately there's no way to get the audio software to look elswhere for files so the only way to resolve the problem is to restore the old folder, to navigate out of it manually and finally to delete it again.
