SOLD SOLD SOLD

I won this thing in an online giveaway. It has no official branding on the packaging other than a little sticker, but the device and its case both have the Intel insignia.

It is a powder-blue color plastic with a 5" "WVGA TFT" 800x480 NON-touch screen. All input is done through buttons on the device's face. Has a built-in speaker, 4GB internal capacity, and an expansion MicroSD slot (unknown limit of expanded storage). It also says that it features voice recording, so it must also have a built-in mic.

I have only powered it on and seen that it works, I've never used it for anything other than collecting dust. Comes in original packaging with USB (standard mini-B) cable, earbuds, wall-charging adapter, faux-leather protective case, and instructional manual.

I have absolutely no idea what it's worth, so I'll say $40 shipped, but I'm very flexible on that. I will consider international shipping, but the cost will be passed on to you.

There is no "About Device" section that I can find in the software, so I have no idea of the hardware specs or what software it's running. If you want any other pictures, let me know.

So you won it brand new, and have basically done nothing but turn it on to test it out?

Do you have all the original stuff like box, packaging, paperwork, and all accessories?

Are you sure it has 4gb internal memory, and it sounds like the SD card will bring the capacity to more then 4gb?

Your pictures make the device look bright blue in some and dark blue in others. What actual color is this thing? If you could make a box in mspaint or something and fill it with the color that you think is closest to the devices color, and post the picture. This is probably best way to see actual color.
 
That's correct, I poked around its settings a little to see if I could find out more about the device, but had little luck, as you can see from my lack of technical details in this post.

All the original packaging, papers, and accessories that I got with it will be sent to the buyer, as mentioned and listed in the OP.

Here's a picture of the only system information page I could find. It lists capacity in MB: 3722 internal, 971 on the card (I put in a 1GB MicroSD card to test the expandable storage, so that's the 971MB. I don't have any larger, so can't test its upper-limit here. MicroSD card not included). Further, when plugging the device into my PC, Windows lists the internal capacity to be 3.62GB, as well as listing separately the 971MB MicroSD card that I still had in it.

I can do the MSPaint thing if you want, but that color-match will only be accurate to my monitors, really. I can tell you that pictures 2 and 3 in the gallery are the most true-to-color (again, on my monitor...); it's a powder blue on the front, and then a deeper, more saturated blue on the back (You can see the contrast of the blues in the 6th picture).

Let me know if you have any other questions.
 
To avoid confusion, I'm not interested in buying it, but when did you get this? I got a basic kindle very similar to that a few years ago, but it was so much smaller as far as the border compared to the screen. Not trying to say it looks bad, kindles are sold at cost basically and they are still like 70 or more last I checked, so if you need an e-reader this would be fine.

I won it several months back. The software says the update it's running was issued in 2011, according to the picture I posted in my last reply. I'm pretty sure it's not a Kindle, since there's no branding to indicate that, but a functional reader nevertheless.
 
I think I might end up buying this, not completely sure yet though. I'm a little worried that theres no information or reviews out there to read up on it so its pretty much a blind purchase. I'm not really much a mobile device person, but I do have the occasional use for videos and music when I'm gone somewhere. I'd hate to ask because $40 seems fair already, but you did say you were flexible with the price. I don't want for you to basically just break even after shipping, but what price would you be willing to sell it for?
 
I guess I could go $35. I'm also open to trades, if you've got anything laying around. We could probably work out a deal.
 
$35 sounds good to me

One more question. Wheres the slot for the DC power adapter? Looks like it might be on the bottom? Is there some other stuff on the bottom?
