Portronics 2GB Touch Knockoff $105 at Amazon

September 06, 2007 at 11:55 PM in Portable Media

First of all, let me start by saying that this is not an iPod Touch. I have no idea if the Portronics Touch MP4 player is worth $105. It looks, smells, and tries to act like a new iPod by playing videos at 320x240 resolution, having a touch screen, and well, looking like one. The Portronics player also does some interesting things the new iPod doesn't; it can be expanded with up to a 4GB MiniSD card, has an FM tuner, and plays sound at "supreme" quality via its built-in speaker. So is this player worth $105? I honestly couldn't tell you, but I is itching to find out.

It's way worth it. It pretty much the exact thing with a little more ... your just paying for a name when you get the iPod touch. I have one of these and I tested out a touch.

I have both at my desk now, There's no way your just paying for a "Name" The screen isnt touch friendly, You have to double-tap to open things. It's slow and unresponsive. You cannot scroll with a finger drag. and the screen itself is "Finger sticky" Meaning that your finger sticks to it and your doing stuff and it's way smaller.
