Out of curiosity, have none of you ever used no-name Chinese electronics before? It's going to break in less than three months.


The iPod is also "Chinese electronics", as is probably half the stuff on the shelves of any big box shop like CompUSA ("CompChina").

This gadget at least has very few moving parts (one on-off switch, and the five-switch "click wheel"), so I'd give it better odds of survival than, say, a Rio Karma.

And it's pretty darned cheap, so a paranoid person could just buy an extra "for insurance" (but why bother?).

Took mine canoeing and hiking today (a balmy 35C out there), so far so good.
