Looks interesting. * If it actually works at that price it is a bargain.

Integrated Ipod..


Well, integrated MP3 player, not Ipod - thankfully. * *Ipods blow. *There
are much better/easier to use/easier to manage Mp3 players available at a
fraction of the cost of an Ipod.


Here is the guts of the whole thing, aq SI473435 chip

Documentation on it is he


https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Doc...Si473x-B20.pdf

I do not know how to really interpret the specs.


Ultimately, how does it all work in the field is the test

So someone buy one and let us know how it does. !


Hard to say how well it would work as it relies on DSP.

Electronics to support this part a
1. A micro controller to operate it.
2. Audio amplifier stage.
3. Display system.
4. A dual voltage power supply.
