just noticed some Teclast C260s for sale on ebay, current bid @ $51 USD, 6 units still available.

some funny engrish accompany's the ebay auction:

"She has a very delicate thermal induction touchscreen. So you need spend more time to get on well with her. Plz take good care or her.
One of my customers told me that he kissed her up in the morning. But I guess if he forgot to lock the keypad he would not to sitisfy her all day. And please not forget to turn off the power when you leave her. Or she will not accompany you for a very long time."

also this little tidbit about a known bug in the current firmware for the C260:

"I have to tell you before you biding on it that here is a little problem with C260 now. It is that audio and video does not match perfectly when it playing films. And this bug only appears when the film is over 40 minutes. I think it won't be a long time for Teclast to update its software. At the present time, this problem could be solved by lower the resolving capability to 20f/s ."

Err0r

Still waiting for mine so I can confirm...

I think the seller means that the video is out of sync sometimes (happens on many players) and that the controls have quite a steep learning curve.

The video problem you are referring to is only a firmware issue. All of the Teclasts up to this point have been sold with the buggy firmware installed. The sellers must tell you this, and thus you have the little warning, (good indication of a good seller).

A firmware update that completely corrects this problem has just been developed. Starting next week, All the C260s rolling off the assembly line will have the new stable firmware already installed. Also, keep in mind, it is only a firmware issue. The first players off the assembly line are not defective. If you got one of the first ones, hardware wise, they are exactly the same as the newer ones. A simple firmware upgrade will make video play at beautiful full frame rate, as advertised.

Rumor:

The C260 2GB versions have already started rolling off the assembly line. They should be on sale in China very soon. I am told there are no plans for a 4GB version, but you never know.

Hi it was not a joke, it was a very limited stock price (2 pcs)

We have now got our hands on few extra units and the price is now 85usd.
Currently there is a large shortage of C260 due to the exceptionally popular demand.

Expect further price fall, when the C260 is on full stock.
