Do You Want A Touch Screen MP4 Player? You Should Read This

EBay traders and online shop owners stocking touch screen MP4 players will be able to expand their range within the next two years with Chinese manufacturers looking to enter a market dominated by expensive items like iTouch, iPod and Pearl.

While the increasing availability of touchscreen MP4 players will be extremely marketable there are still things to look for when choosing a MP4 touch screen player to make sure you, or your customer, will get the best deal possible.

Anyone looking to purchase a touchscreen MP4 will have to ask more questions on top of those asked when sourcing a MP4 player.

You may also want to ask:

How durable is the screen?

How can the screen be configured or re-configured?

Is the screen a resistive screen or is it multi touch?

How can I reset a locked touchscreen MP4

How durable is the screen?

This will be the first question consumers ask you as an eBay trader, whether you're selling a digital touch screen 4GB MP4 player, or touchscreen MP4 watch.

When sourcing a touchscreen MP4 ask about the touch count (how many times the screen can be touched before it stops working). The touch screen interface on most players will probably last for 5 million touches but this could vary from player to player. However, protection is always a good idea and this is inexpensive and available at most electronics stores.

How can the screen be configured or reconfigured?

Touchscreen MP4s sometimes require re-calibration to work properly, ask the vendor how it can be done and make sure before making any firm commitments.

While you will need to ask the vendor for advice on specific models the protective screen can often be one common gremlin preventing responsive action. Ensure, when you remove the plastic protection system, you get all of it and none is stuck in the corners or on the edge of the screen.

Is the screen a Resistive Touch Screen or is it Multi-Touch

There is more than one type of touch screen. Most touchscreen MP4 players and PDA devices use a variation of a four or eight-wire resistive system, which uses wires to track the location of the stylus or finger.

Newer touch screen MP4 players, like the iTouch, use multi touch technology, which allows the user to utilize multiple fingers on the surface of the device at the same time.

How can I reset a locked touchscreen MP4?

Screen freeze is common problem for any portable touch screen device. Check to see how the device you are considering purchasing can be unfrozen.

Are there buttons at the top which will automatically take you back to the menu or will you have to take the battery out and reboot it completely?

While the apparent concerns may make you weary of stocking MP4 touch screen players you can't deny the fantastic opportunity they represent. With just a little research, and a trusted online wholesaler, you should be able to stock these fantastically profitable items without worry.
