| Not bad considering it was 54 bucks. The two Mega pixel camera is so so and has some trouble focusing. The audio player isn't bad because you can create folders on the device however, you cannot upload whole folders onto the device. Each and every song must be tediously copied to the player in its specific folder. The video conversion software says vista ready , but I couldn't get it to work with vista 32 or 64 bit! A little bit of a downer, The manual is nearly useless as it lacks detail and language skills. This one would be good if you are a computer whiz, but then you might be really unhappy with it, when compared to other items of a similar nature for higher prices. But definately has bang for the buck! |

| Excellent MP3 player for my 11 year old. It's been durable, with no issues with storage or downloads. I was initially worried about the keys or the LCD getting damaged, however, the unit has survived normal wear and tear. It's not the prettiest gadget in the world, but well suited for a pre-teen. |
Love it (thought there are some cons)

| I absolutely loved this product the first time i got it, worked beautifully, fast, no trouble at all unfortunately, this brings me to the first problem, I only had it for a week before the screen broke. It's much too sensitive, the only reason I've bought it again is because, I think being smashed into a wall is enough to break any MP3 player. The other problem with it wasn't necessarily the Mp3 itself but the directions. It seems that it's translated by a non-English speaker, cause there's so much broken in English in it. other those, it's a really good product. |
Better than I expected.

First, the drawbacks:
The navigation system is somewhat complicated, but pretty intuitive once you get used to it. The buttons are, for lack of a better term, "clacky" they feel pretty stiff, there isn't much smoothness when you press on them. They work though, for now.
The included video conversion software is totally useless. I mean TOTALLY useless. I tried converting numerous different clips in formats as diverse as AVI (both DivX and XVID), MP4, FLV, MPG, etc. and not a single clip would even begin the conversion process. Pretty huge flaw for the non-tech-savvy user. I managed to get a third-party conversion tool that would convert anything that I threw at it into 320x240 FLVs that play fine on the Ematic. Other formats of video have been troublesome, even at 320x240 resolution, but to be fair I haven't done extensive testing because once I found that FLVs would play OK that's the only format that I have used.
The screen is backlit and vibrant. The video looks clean, no framerate issues or lagging. The sound is surprisingly good through the cheap earbuds that come with the player. The TV out function works perfectly. The FM tuner works just as it should, automatically scanning for stereo FM signals and storing them in memory. You can tune the radio manually as well.
The camera is pretty bad under any indoor lighting that's not super bright, but without a flash that's to be expected. Video quality shot with the camera is acceptable, though nothing special.
The ebook reader only functions with TXT files, but programs to convert PDFs to TXT do exist. The text viewer is a little funky, it wraps words in an odd way, but it's nothing you can't adjust for when you're reading.
All in all, this is a pretty good media player. It's no IPod, but it's also not hundreds of dollars either. It seems to have issues with fully supporting some video formats, but at least on my unit, it plays FLVs flawlessly. The included software is, as was mentioned above, utterly worthless. I would say that the uselessness of the software package is the weakest aspect of this media player, but the file support issues might be a deal-breaker for some.
Overall, for $50, I am quite pleased with this product. |
Not bad but never again

| Not a bad idea but this one is not for me but i will not throw it away I can use it still. From my opinion it could have been done better but hey how much you give is how much you get. OS on it seems like from those first color display cell phones but basics are kept to minimum. You have option to preview video but IT HAS TO BE encoded into 3GP which i hate and you have it with a CD that comes with it. CD contains WMP some codecs (which you definitely do not need unless you have a video encoded into an DiVx and you have no codecs installed on your computer (trust me when I say just go with Xvid codec - I deal with video almost 10 years now). The camera that comes with it is VGA meaning 320x240 15fps max size video files can created with what they say 2MP pinhole type camera. It is very fragile for my taste. The picture shown here is ok but once you turn it the other way (the one you actualy use) is not here so I will post a picture of that. Buttons that you utilize are horrible. You can hear it snap and if I press it much harder I fell like I am about to penetrate through them. Although this thing is 4 GB (enough for a child these days) it has additional port for micro SD card on it and thus expand your memory. First time I hooked it up for charging I have started copying one file and it took some time to start transfering even though it says it supports "high USB speeds". Then had to format it but once you do that all you have to do is make folders in it like before and put your songs/videos/pictures in those folders. Music files are just copy/paste away. No need for additional reconverting but you can't put folders on it since it will not recognize it. Music file has to be on root folder AUDIO. Guide that comes with it is horrible (bad english - and I am not an American or a person that speaks english language as native one). Once you mess things up you will have to use it but I would recommend that you use common sense for figuring out what is wrong with it (like computer knowledge). All in all not a bad idea but it could have been done better. The only thing I like about it is that it is the size of my Creative ZEN 16GB, and Ematic 4GB is twice as lighter than ZEN with an IDEA of all in one thing. These days just invest into a descent mobile phone you will have it all. But this can be a gift that can be disposable after a while (meaning when it breaks). Why I gave it 3 stars is because of weight, IDEA and simplicity. |
