3.0 from 5 stars Good price for features but is not all work as advertised, September 14, 2010
This review is from: Sly Electronics 8 GB Video Iphone with Video Recorder, 3 Inch Touchscreen, 5MP Digital Camera, FM Radio, and Speaker (Black) (Electronics)
I really wanted to adore this media player but I'll only are pleased. Its about my 10th media player in recent times and I wanted a low cost gift. It looks good, screen is bright and clear, and possesses a pleasant feel. Wedding ceremony shiny black case can be a fingerprint magnet. Nevertheless has one fatal flaw which I'll travel to later.
First what's great. It can do anything else they are saying in your ads, especially only at that price. Getting media in it is straightforward drag and drop. There aren't many pleasant surprises. Touchscreen is responsive after calibration. Scrolling through long list is possible by scrollbar or one tap hold to the last visible list item additionally , the player will scroll through all 1000 songs inside list. You can multi task hearing music with other compatible functions like ebook reading or photo viewing. Unlike another reviewer, I played it for 3 hours straight prior to when the battery indicator even reached half.
Now the bad news.
CAMERA
5MP camera photo quality is so bad they can be useless. Hazy and totally out of focus. A 1MP camera would give better photos.
subsequently it's hard to use player as camera, video recorder or webcam as advertised
VIDEO
Video playback is strict only videos changed into 320x240 or smaller will play. Which should you have an active avi collection or youtube could mean hours of converting. Next to nothing I downloaded played without conversion. I've owned other sub $50 players which more forgiving of resolution.
MUSIC
Sound quality is good. Controls are standard fare with ID3 tags, and responsive.
No playlist support. That's surprising because your first time offering 8gb players which could hold 4000 plus songs rrs really a requirement. You can create on the fly playlists if you can not mind tediously tapping on 4000 songs.
The loudspeaker volume is loud enough normally. Question the air needs the earphone cord take an antenna you are unable to make use of the loudspeaker to hear the air.
PHOTO
Can't rotate and should not zoom.
OTHER
Start up takes about 15 secs. At a world where Four to five sec is average, that seems really long.
Given the price tag, I'd personally forgive many of the misses for any price but advertising a 5MP camera of which does not work is a deal breaker.
