Cruelty Unending.
I got my mp3 player today. It is pretty sweet. However, the manual is completely in Korean....and low and behold I was looking at the recharge, and...
IT'S KOREAN TOO.
I don't think I've ever seen a foreign plug in person before. I felt frustrated and pissed, but a little enlightened.
Not sure what I needed to get it working, or even if I could, I did a little searching and found http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/ac_world_volt_freq.htm, which told me just about everything I wanted to know. The device says 110v~220v,60hz, which I hope means that it can automatically switch voltages and only needs a cheap plug adapter. Otherwise I would have to get a replacement ac adapter or an expensive transformer.
The e-mailed the guy I bought it from on ebay, and he said,
"Hi. I'm really sorry about it. I didn't notice the outlet was for 220v because I got it as a gift and I didn't open the box
If you're talking about little adapter like this one http://www.safenet.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=859 . I'll get one asap and ship it to you (free of charge of course)
Again, I'm really sorry I should've taken more look into the box, but I sure did not mean to give false-advertising because that's not how I do trade online.
Please let me know. Thanks"
So, that's pretty awesome of him.
It has an fm receiver and transmitter and a long lasting lithium battery and it's well designed and it's all around a very neat thing to have. Digital Dream Device is right! Hopefully it won't die before I get a recharger for it.
