Maybe it’s safer to just say they are an MP3 players that to me look very similar to the ipod.

Purchased one for about ten dollar and it has 2 gigs storage. got it cheap because it’s pink. No one gives their daughter a fake ipod (i would because it really looks like linux). No one gives their son anything pink, so i grabbed it. If I cared, I would take it apart and paint the exterior.. Who knows, maybe a later post :-P. Took the MP3 player out of package and set it on the counter. Three days it sat there untouched. The comparison MP3 player came in , While opening the comparison MP3 player, I knocked the first one (the pink one) on the floor. blah blah blah, I stepped on screen area.

All seems to function well on both of them, so no harm no foul. I now have two mp3 players that I can plug into my VR3 car stereo I bought for $79 at walmart.

Here is a place for firmware and software knowledge base

The first one that came in has a phone book,mp3 player, mp4 player,Fm Radio, picture viewer

The fm Player, is nothing to brag about, Signal was rough, almost had to hold it on my head in a clear open area before I got single signal in a major U.s. city.

MP4 Player, The format isn’t exactly  an mp4 and not high quality at all, it’s like a really fast flipping gif.

Picture Viewer, yeah you guessed it, looks bad, really pixelated, so don’t let that sale you on the deal.

Phone book, exactly what you think it is, it is a phone book, you can add email address, home phone number and cell phone

Mp3 Player, 2 gigs is many hours of podcasts for me to listen to. The battery plays for exactly 6 hours 20 minutes. To play 6 hours of podcasts, i barely consume 100 megs of storage, leaving me 1.9 gigs of unused storage.

the usb connection plugs into my car stereo and the stereo sees it as a storage device, and charges the mp3 player at the same time. I have no idea how long it lasts, because I am usually where ever I am headed, within just a couple songs. Bad side is, it does not resume as you left off. Could be the stereo. Most likely is. Does it with the black one also.

The black one is 512 megs and costs more than the pink one and is more squared, interface is exactly the same minus fm radio. less storage, and the ear connection busted within an hour of use and only plays out of one ear. Plugs into car stereo like the pink one, but battery dies unless I turn it off for a few minutes.Screen area is very very tiny. little more than half an inch looks great but very frustrating.

I have to give all  credit to the Pink one with round edges. sound is better, storage is greater price was cheaper (circumstantial though)
Display a tad larger, 1/16th of an inch larger, at best.

They will both make for good media storage devices to listen to in the car, that’s what I bought them for anyway. but the rounded edge one is the better quality . I have no model numbers on either one, sorry for the lack of info.
