Honestly, I don´t think it is a fake at all. Because c.b.2000´s background knowledge is too high for it. And, rjamorim, I really do think MPC is supported by this player, even if it isn´t mentioned directly in the product´s description. Because why should he otherwise announce it in big letters in the headline of this whole thread? - But now as I saw the data-sheet of this player, I don´t know if it is really worth to be bought. It more seems to be a low-cost thing with much too less memory and a too small power-supply. Flash-based would be ok, but you should let decide the customer, how large the memory is, he uses. So, the minimum demand for such a flash-based memory player should be a changeable "compact flash"-memory (best if it would be delivered out without any memory, so the you could go around the corner into an electronic store and buy the memory you want (I would buy a 512 MB-card for it), because those 16 MB-gifts (or maybe even 128 MB), which are mostly added to it, have no practical use. - Or, second opportunity, it is sold at once with "big" cards - at least 256 or 512 MB - where the customer can order the one, he wants. And the power-supply should not be contain only a single AAA-battery, but 2 AA-cells ("Mignon"), so that the higher power-supply needs for this CF-memory does not lead to a too short playtime. And when the marketing is done quite well for this product, I think it will be a hit and a good deal for the manufacturer. The MPC- and Vorbis-communities are not that small than always said. And last question to c.b.2000: Is the interface of this device only USB 1.1 - or already USB 2.0-capable?
