    You got 100% screwed if you thought it was legit, but so other than that, why bother changing it? Ýou can listen to music on it, and as an added bonus, you still technically aren't an iSheep ;o

    Yeah, but they often mean the same thing (1024KB, or 2^20) and are used interchangeably in common usage, so although MB can be ambiguous only a pedant would bother to point out the difference ;)

    Give the seller negative feedback and report them for selling fake goods. Then enjoy. :D

    +1, absolutely way fake. Just look at the buttons.

    But for 8GB in something that small, I wouldn't complain, unless you got absolutely ripped off. Or you wanted to use iTunes to sync it.

    Does it work? I reckon if you try and fill it with 8GB of stuff it will break.

    Oh it works great, but not with iTunes of course.

    Some time after I posted, Mr. No-Speaka-da-english some how did a reverse lookup of my phone number and called me at home with a ten minute explanation of how is suppliers in "alberta" have gipped him and how he's so sorry. He is no promising me a refund, but paypal doesn't show it yet. It's too late, because I already sold it to a third party for a twenty dollar profit. I'll let you guys know how this goes.

    How much did you spend? You can get a 4GB Shuffle for $79, or a 8GB Nano for $149.

    lulz. those crafty albertans and their fake gadgets.

    you should have kept it imho. a real usb port is an upgrade over most mp3 players.

    For an 8gig music player thats a very good price. You could probably punt it on to a mate (a girl mate) for a small profit.
