Now, we all know that Chinese are natural born cloners, but this is something new. This is a case of a Chinese manufacturer that is copying another Chinese manufacturer. You should try to find some differences yourselves. First, take the Zarva MV570 portable media player. It reveals a generously wide 4.3 inch screen display, a cool design, glossy resistant casing and more.

Its capabilities include compatibility with most of the file formats available on the market, such as AVI, MPEG, VOB,DAT,MP3, WMA, OGG, JPEG, not to mention the portable media player can even double as a good old e-Book reader, dealing with TXT files. As for the pricing and availability details, the Zarva device won't go higher than 1.900 Yuan for the 80 GB internal storage capacity.

The best news of all is that none of the info above belongs to Zarva Company. Why? Well, apparently, all they did was duplicate the Blog Tang A+ media player, already announced as a future hit on the markets, since it features a cool HD storage that extends the internal memory to 160 GB a pop, which the fellows from Zarva failed to achieve. As for the Tang A+ design, it has the same 4.3-inch LCD screen, but it?s more elaborate and it doesn?t use cheap materials for the components.

Even if its capabilities are pretty much the same, showing compatibility with the already mentioned file formats (the ones that attracted Zarva), there were some extra features added to the Tang A+ specification list that makes it unique: the line-in recording, the TV out and the USB 2.0 compliantly are more difficult to buy with a limited budget.

Regarding the Blog Tang A+ pricing and availability details, they also differ quite a lot from the ones of the Zarva, as 40GB costs 1.299 Yuan, meaning 173 bucks, 80 GB can reach 213 bucks, while the 160 GB can cost up to 293 bucks a pop!
