The device retails online

Want to see something really annoying? Then check out this monster! Apparently, it wasn't enough they hacked Nokia and then shamefully named themselves ECNokia. The fellows have popped out an MP4 player, which we Earth inhabitants like to call portable media player, with a form factor that is more than identical to the one of the already suffocating iPod nano from the third generation.

However, if you look deeper into the player's specs, you are going to notice a bigger 2.4-inch screen display and an additional 1.3 megapixel camera. But, what appears to be a far better deal than Apple's Nano could actually be a crap.

Well, it could, but not now anyway, as this player claims to offer a cool split-screen user interface, similar to the one used by iPods. And it can face both MPEG-4 and ASF format for video, as well as MP3, WMA, WAV, MIDI and more.

So, here we are, having to choose between only music capabilities and a clone with some extra features like a 1.3MP camera, bigger screen, which is not only wider but also touch sensitive and more. Yup, if the memory seems to shrink, you can boost it up with an extra 2GB via the optional SD and MMC cards slots.

The only issue with these players is the shame you'll have to face if going out with one of your American friends. Besides that, who said good music cannot be pumped out from a cheap crappy player?

The player's size is not bad either, as it sports 90 x 60 x 3.5 mm, just the right size to wear the Chinese thing on a neck strap. No to mention I detect some cheap Chinese price tags to complement these clones. So, what's it going to be? Tough choice?
