Yes, and I know about ebay too.
I payed GBP 8.89 for the Chinese media player,
it has a 2.4 inch screen. plays Xvid, mp3, has a FM radio, mp3 player, calendar, stopwatch, camera,
microUSB, audio recorder, can record video from that camera,
and a build in battery.
Quality is excellent.
It educational value is fantastic if you play educational videos on it,
for example the Feynman lectures.

So the 5 $ extra for that switcher did not weight that heavy.
Of course it has free shipping from China.

If you do some searching on ebay you find a lot of single board computahs too.
I never bought one of those, but there was some cool stuff around,
like with touch screen and what not.

This week I bought some nice 16 GB USB sticks,
One HD movie fits on it:-)
My Samsung 46 inch LCD plays it,

Just bought it for the looks, and because it is actually cheaper than the local shops.
