Good luck, that's if you even receive it... That seller sells counterfeit flash drives, so just make sure you test it when it arrives. Info on that seller is filed in the sosfake flash database:
Yup that's what I've got, the headphones alone have outlived all the headphones I went through with my old MP3 player put together, infact the headphones may have even outlived my old MP3 player altogether.
It's perfect for work I just clip it to my shirt and run the phones under it, good stuff, and I think it was only $15?
Well the replacement arrived Friday from China.....you guessed it, it was another 2gb one faked to 16gb.
I complained again, they refunded me...so I got 2 decent 2gb MP3 players for free!
Hmm, just make sure you don't put more than 2gb of songs on their, or you'll data wrap around and corrupted files...
Incidently it is possible to re-correct faked flash memory to it's correct capacity. This first step is to correctly identify the VID and PID numbers of the flash memory / device then tracking down a program to reflash the firmware so it gives it true "real" capacity. SOSFakeFlash website tell you how to do this if you have a rummage on their website. Not sure if it will work on mp3 players, but well worth further investigation...

Yeah I've already loaded them both up to 1.7gb and they are working fine at that.
I was wondering if there was something to 'fix' the reported size, I'll look into that thanks.
Well I managed to 'fix' one of them last night following Hercules info that it could be done. Now it reports correctly 2gb and the test says everything is ok. Guess I'll do the other one tonight.
Well 6 weeks later and still nothing so i've emailed the guy and hes going to give me my money back (different paypal address hes using but i presume its all legit).
At least hes going to refund me, the postage was a fair bit (15 quid i think) so i cant believe it takes that long to get here !

Looks like a smelly sock from some poor middle eastern worker. Hang it in the car for the ultimate air freshner accessory. Bargain !
Well it's arrived.
A quick review:-
What's in the (Jiffy) bag:-
USB Player
Charger
Earphones
Instruction Book. In the worst English ever.
Stylus.
Sock (Not Smelly!)
First was to check it with H2Testw 1.4, And after about an hour (!) it comfirmed it was indeed a 2GB chip installed, so no problem there.
The touch screen is a little unresponsive, and there is no where to keep the stylus.
It also has a SD card Slot, that turns out to be a mini SD so I can't test that.
MP3 playback and the ear phones aren't bad.
So as long as it lasts a couple of holidays it seems ok for ?8.50
Does it really do flash?

Nice but mine is only 2gb and they doesn't have the video option.
Still waiting on my replacement '16gb' china one....
