Hello - I am from mobiBLU and we would like everyone to know that we have recently launched the DAH-1500i in the US market through our launch partner, walmart.com. The 1500i ADDS WMA DRM (digital rights managment) and USB 2.0 to the Cube MP3 Player. The DAH-1500i is the only authorized product for the US market and the JNC product (the original DAH-1500 AKA JNC SFF-8100, SFF-8005 and SFF-8002) is being sold outside the US market. The JNC DOES NOT HAVE DRM AND USB 2.0!! If you are a customer in the US please visit www.walmart.com for purchasing the DAH-1500i with the advanced features and great price! They offer the player in six different colors and in both 512MB and 1GB capacities. THANK YOU!!

Not to be a stickler, Daniel J, but couldn't you guys have designed an interface that doesn't resemble the iPod? While I dig what's under the hood, I question the quality when it starts to look like a visual knock off.

Brady J, Did you know Apple was the first one to use a button that was round and white? Also did you know that Apple was the first one to create the four-way directional button? The comments about "ipod knock offs" are really getting old. Find somthing else to complain about.
Brady J. Frey on July 31, 2005 9:52 PM
Nice generalized response MikeS, but there's a clear visual representation here -- while I can't copyright the font Helvetica, using it in a logo representation and controlling the typography can be copyrighted as a look and feel. Round white buttons aside, the 'look and feel' in an MP3 player is pretty obvious. Ipod knock off comments might be getting old to you; but there's obviously some truth in the end. I usually find comments posted by anonymous users gets old as well. There, I keep complaining again...

I can confirm that the 1500i does recognize Chinese characters. No word on Japanese/Korean.

I am in canada with a DAH 1500i. I need to know if the USB cord for the DAH 1500s would work with it as the USB cord for it isn't with it and I need to get one. Unfortunately THE SOURCE is the only place that sells it.

Brady J. Frey - While you're whining about "knockoffs", why dont you ask Apple where they got their precious iPOD OS? On top of that, why don't you actually look at MP3 players that came out before your precious iPod? Typical Apple fan - bought the ignorance, thinks Apple came out with everything first.
And to get it straight - the "interface" model was designed by "iRiver" originally. The only thing Apple came up with was the slider. Used to work for Apple - quit because I couldnt stand selling to ignorance.
Please choose to research outside of Apple's website in the future.
Brady J. Frey on July 24, 2006 8:53 PM
Thanks tpotter, I love generalized slander from posters who can track my website, but I don't get to see yours? Used to work for Apple - I'll take that at face value - and with my design experience, value my opinion over yours until you show a little more about yourself. The arguement about design as a whole versus reference of style has been discussed for years and is a bit outside of this website, so I'll leave that be.

Hey!
I'm in Canada using a DAH 1500S and I have loved it until now...
I'm visiting family accross the country and I plugged my player into their USB port. I played some songs off of it while it was charging (throught the computer) and even copied some songs to their computer. Then I left it to charge for a couple of hours and when I came back to listen to it, it had overheated (VERY hot) and would not turn on. I left it overnight to let it cool down (unplugged from the computer) and it still wouldn't turn on. If anyone has an idea of what happened, help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
