Top 10 Stocking Stuffers for 2009
We get a lot of people sending in support tickets and forums threads asking us every year good gift selections, so this year we thought we would be a little better and make a list of what we think are our top 10 stocking stuffers, which will be followed up with our top 10 gift ideas for products that are sold on MP4 Nation. Our top 10 list after the jump!
10. Nationite OS-81 2GB $59.50
Well its the only MP4 player we would suggest as a stocking stuffer, mainly because of its low price, BUT, don't think that just because it has 2GB that it won't make for a good deal or gift. The OS-81 allows for external memory and the internal memory, for music, to be combined into one playlist, so essentially you can add an 8GB card full of music and have a total of
With TV-Out being the hot development topic among manufacturers of late the bar has shifted with the introduction of full HD 1080P HDMI output.
None of the players on trial offer that but this roundup looks at what they do offer and contains the final verdict in this week-long battle of the 3 inchers.

As with each of the players there's not remote but the one drawback is continuous play

Nationite One Series OS-81
Graphically this is a very simple looking interface but everything you need is clearly displayed on the main screen making it an easy player to get around.
As it's touchscreen it's as simple and pointing to the section you want.
The screen transition is satisfying smooth with each new one sliding in from the right.
Once in a section
For the totally pocketable choice, a 3 inch player is the perfect small and easy option.

Nationite OS-81
Out of the standard stylish Nationite packaging comes the player, an instruction book, a USB cable, a clip stand, a wall charger and earphones.
The player itself on first impressions has a refined light, slick
Having a wealth of video in your pocket for commuting or travel is one thing and we all know today's screens are more than capable of satisfying every time.
When you take those videos inside and delve into the world of TV-Out, however, it's another thing altogether.
So, here's a handy rundown of the TV-Out quality of different players in our bid to serve you well for an evening in front of the TV.
The test begins after the break.
Nationite OS-81
The first to be put under the scrutinous eye of the TV test team is the 0S 81.
In an age where technology is advancing at a rate of knots, this big player from last year fared well considering.
The 640 x 480 standard composite video output was comparable to that of an old Chinese DVD player I own. A cut above VCD quality, the ima
AniMemories has come up with this very nice looking thheme to be used with the Nationite OS-81 there aren't that many themes out there for the OS-81 due to a complex firmware structure, it is good to see that the few that are out there are quite smashing.

We are proud to present the first video of our new Nationite OS-81 in action. The review shows the packing, accessories and the player. Watch the video and see why MVA screens really rock, this player will make a great compact video player, to top it off it also has TV out and FM transmitter.
Overall the slick OS-81 will impress any individual for its very good video capabilities and it will surprise many with its very good audio playback quality.
I am sure all those people who bought during the blind sale will be very happy that they took the risk and bought this great player.
(and yes i am planning on having a contest soon for people to design a more slick startup and shutdown screen for the player)
Get one today with our special presale and get the 8GB version and a lot of
Well yesterday arrived a sample of our custom box for our new Nationite OS-81 and we all here at MP4 Nation were quite happy with the outcome. Although there are some misalignment mistakes, the overall look of the box is fantastic. With glossy raised One Series and a nice glossy printing of the player on the back, the custom box really suits the great player that it contains.
The box in the picture does look a bit worn, but that is because so many of us here at MP4 Nation were checking it out a lot and being quite impressed with how well it came out.
On a note on the misalignment (mostly to do with centering), this will be on the first couple of hundred orders as a couple of hundred of boxes have already been made with the misalignment. However the alignment issue is negligible and
