Budget Mp5 Player – Performs Like an Apple iPod

September 8th, 2009

Why spend $200+ dollars on a iPod? You can get the exact same functionality for much less! Bigboxstore.com’s wholesale MP5 players come packed with features, and perform just like Apple products.  You can listen to your favorite MP3s, watch video clips and movies, and even access the Internet on selected models.  We have MP5 players with touch screens, built-in game controllers, and cameras, all equipped with high-quality, wide screens that allow you to enjoy pictures or movies comfortably.  All models also come with variable memory capacity to suit your needs.
This variable memory capacity really sets our products apart from those of Apple.  While our MP5 players function just as smoothly as an iPod, they typically are offered with memory capacity varying from 2-16GB.  Think about the products available from Apple.  They no longer produce the 30GB or 60GB Classic iPod, and now only sell a 120GB iPod video for $250.  That is more memory capacity than my computer has, and certainly much more than I need on my iPod.  The iPod Touch, which is pretty cool, offers more reasonable memory capacity between 8-32GB,  However, it costs a minimum of $230 if you go with 8GB, and a maximum of $400!  I don’t know about you, but that is more than I want to spend on a product with a one year warranty.

So why get caught up in this Apple system, which either overcharges you for an absurd amount of GBs, or simply overcharges you for a product with a touch screen?  You can get a 16GB, touch screen MP5 player with the same performance for half the price.  You can also get a smaller MP5 player (2-8GB) for around $50.  Given the pace of technology, and the disposable nature of portable media players today, I’d say a budget MP5 player is the way to go.

The Taidian M66 Gives Apple a Run For Their Money

August 22nd, 2009

Thinking about getting a new iPod?  Why is that?  Did your old one break, causing you to stumble upon the poor customer service at Apple?  Chances are, your iPod conveniently broke just after the 1 year warranty expired.  Darn!  Why didn’t you upgrade to the 2 year warranty?? Well, because it cost $60 and I thought the stupid thing was going to keep working longer than a year.  Yeah, we all did.  Well, that one is gone, and it’s time to get a new one.  Hopefully you backed up your music, photos, and videos on your computer.

So the question is, are you going to stick with Apple?  Are their products superior enough to warrant the sky-high prices, fragile products and poor service?  I mean, if the product is going to break in a year anyway, maybe you should spring for a competitors product that is significantly cheaper.

One of these alternatives is the Taidian M66 HD MP5 Player.  This product plays MP3, WMA, APE, and FLAC audio files, and RM, RMVB, FLV, AVI(compatible with DIXV, XVID, and MPEG4) DAT, WMV, and MPG video formats.  It also comes with a USB port and cable that allows high speed data transfer from your computer to your new MP5 player.  This means, assuming you did backup your music and video library, it will be accessible on your Taidian MP5 player almost immediately.  This player features a 5.0″, high resolution, color screen, and 8GB memory capacity that is competitive with the iPod touch.  In addition, it comes with a TV-out cable that allows you to view stored videos on your TV screen.  Was your iPod able to do that?

This product comes with the same 1 year warranty that your iPod did.  However, it costs just over $100 brand new.  Rather than submitting to the strangle hold that Apple has on the portable player market, consider the benefits offered by competitors.  You might be surprised by what you find.
