What's the interface and navigation like between your two players? Was there any difference?
Was it pretty straight forward to use and easy to install apps?

Interface is pretty much the same on these devices, I find it very easy to use once you get the hang on it, bear in mind though that the screen is resistive touch, so not as good as say an ipod touch when using your fingers, you need a capacitive screen for smoother navigation, but they cost a lot more at the moment.

Apps are easy to download from the market, if you don't have wi-fi just use app installer or a file manager app and install from a microSd card. I prefer to keep my favourite apps on an sd card anyway it's quicker to install them that way than from the market.

If you get one of these remember it needs Android USB drivers installed to be able to drag and drop to the sdcard and flash memory.

Thanks Knob,

My Windows 7 detects my Android PMP from JTShopOnline fine and I can just drag and copy the files onto the player's flash memory (like the old MP4 players). Just can't seem to get .apk files to play on it. Apparently my one is a 'light' version of the Android (didn't know there was such a thing) so doesn't player all .apk files either!

have you been into setting to allow to run apk files from other locations
not all apk will run as some require certain hardware, resolution etc etc,

which player did you get
