Time to throw those iphones out.

Err, if it's not a phone, how does this in any way compete with the iPhone? No WiFi takes it down a notch in the PDA category, and only has a QVGA screen to make it a fairly low-end PDA.

CTFan, what do you mean no explorer? Theres pictures on the forums of someone running explorer on it and other peoples testimonies. Dont YOU read mp4nation? To do so, you download GSFinder and then run explorer.exe from that. Heck theres a video on their forums of someone running explorer on it.

Also feel free to substitue Iphone with Ipod Touch

. This thing takes place of one

Either way, it still fails in comparison to the ipod touch. Cheap doesn't automatically equal good.

But able to run Windows CE 6.0 compared to not running windows CE 6.0 equals good.

Also, it doesnt have wifi due it being built to be a MP3/MP4 player NOT a pda. Yet, someone found out a way to access the CE 6.0 desktop on it. So its meant to be a music player that runs off of Windows CE Architecture, but someone found a way to access Windows CE on it thus making it a cheap PDA.

Or you could buy a pocket pc with wifi off ebay for about the same price, and it was made to be a PDA.

lol, but does it have windows ce 6.0 with the desktop? Every one I have saw, had some crappy UI. (Like I mean, this thing actually looks like windows, and has a start menu, and desktop with icons and folders. What PDA has that?)

A 'real' desktop is worth bullcrap on a 320x240 display, especially when you're talking about a device that doesn't usually build up a complicated enough file system to require it.

As for the Start menu:

Windows Mobile 2003. The only thing it's missing is hierarchical folders. (But then it would basically be the Apple menu.)

Besides, in my experience all the Windows CE type software is designed for Windows Mobile devices, and it's a pain in the rear to find any free Pocket PC software that's worth using. You'd be better off buying a used Pocket PC off eBay, at least then you'd get WiFi, most likely Bluetooth, and maybe even VGA output. Plus, that MP4 player website says nothing about what architecture its' built around, or how fast the processor is.

Dell Axim x50v. VGA output, 600 mhz XScale processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, plus hardware 3D acceleration. Let's see your MP4 player do this:
