Get What You Pay For,
July 17, 2008 H. Huffman - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teptronics 1 GB Portable Media Player with Touchscreen and Expandable Memory (Electronics)
I bought this item a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. I got a trendy MP4 player along with saving around $300. Honestly, those that buy this product and complain that it's not as advanced as the iPod Touch, then they should really reconsider what they're doing. You get what you pay for and when you spend less than a hundred dollars there is no way it's going to be like the name brand competitors. It preformed exactly what I wanted it to - music; along with a few bonuses of video, photo, voice recorder, and a game. The touch screen isn't very hard to manage either; I don't need to use the stylus that came with it. Now, I don't mean to sound like an advertisement, but I did find this to be a very nice investment. If it were to break, I would even consider buying another one.
Like most things, it has its faults. Such as, the radio is kinda hinky; I'm not entirely sure how to work it. And the game is real "old school" and not really worth playing. Of course, it's not...Read more

Formidable Competitor of Expensive Video Players,

Some of my friends and my cousin bought the Apple I-phone came out, and they paid a premium for it. A few months later, competing products such as these MP4 / Video players came out. I was among the first in my school to use the Touch Screen Portable Media Player, and it was good enough to pass off as an i-Phone. I showed my friends the pros and cons about the player, and they seemed to like it. Because of this, when their birthdays came I gave them one as a gift. (since I had a few extra players - If I had bought an Apple V-Pod, I-pod, I would be dirt poor)
The manufacturing costs of top brands of MP3 / Video players, have been in the past, designed to maximize profit at the expense of the consumer. The quality of Apple is generally very good, but since they have the majority share in the market, they don't even have to make their quality top notch and they can still get by.
Who notices about top notch electronics now anyways? People have grown nonchalant and...Read more

Nice features, but fragile,
April 24, 2008 Kaye "drifting in the wind" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teptronics 1 GB Portable Media Player with Touchscreen and Expandable Memory (Electronics)
I think this is a good alternative to the Apple iPhone, but it's very fragile. I accidentally dropped it today and a big blue and white triangle appeared on the edge of the screen. It still works, but that triangle won't disappear. Now I'm out $93.99(MP4 + S&H) and I feel like I've wasted my money.
