Well, technically, MP4, MP5, and MP6 players don't really exist to us outside of China. To those in China, the term MP4 was created to differentiate chinese players from the rest of the well known players from companies like Apple, and is not related to MP4 format. The terms MP5 and MP6 were created mostly for advertising, but are now used to classify the different types of Chinese players depending on their specs.

The PSP is also a real mp4 player. I would laugh if the model number was that...

OFF TOPIC:

What kinda visa problem are you having? A lot of people have been having trouble getting new visa's because of the Olympics. I have heard of people who have been here for many years, working, that were denied and had to leave.

What do you usually do here anyways? How long have you been here?

Also at jkpwnster, where abouts are you based in China?

Sichuan. Visiting family, came last year as well. Had no questions about visa, even though I'm a Canadian citizen. I've been in China since 2 days before I registered here.

I bought my Meizu miniPlayer M6 last year here as well. Got it for 699CNY = 102USD.

Until Sept. Family was affected, but not too badly. The apartment's fine, but there's a nice crack going down a wall. Nothing too serious, though. Everything's fine here, and life goes on as normal as usually, but there are some minor aftershocks.

~Now can we stay on topic?

MP5: MP5 are the players that play RealMedia files and are advertised to play many video formats without conversion. Example: Onda VX767
MP6: The first MP6 player was released some time ago (last month, I think it was Newman brand), MP6 players have WiFi (whether for internet radio or Internet browser, and some with cameras have the capacity to upload videos directly to YouTube.
Not exactly...Mp3 players were named Mp3 players because the first ones could only play Mp3 Formated music. Mp4 players are called Mp4 players because they can play Mpeg-4 video files. You are right however that Mp5, Mp6 are all marketing gimmicks.
