. This will get your LCD version which there are only 2.
Then buy either a mini SD card or a micro with a to-mini-adapter and format it to FAT32, even if it came formatted to FAT32, in order to insure you won't have to start over like I did.

Solutions:
I got tired of videos resuming, I wish you could disable the feature. Maybe Dingux will not have this "feature" or be able to be toggled. Until then, I created a temp fix.
"remove-marks.bat"
place in your native root Dingo drive, which can be executed from your computer while connected VIA USB to delete all your video bookmarks, regardless of the folder their in.
I have never had a .vmark file on my computer before, so if you accidentally executed it on your own computer, it shouldn't delete anything, but may take a long time to search. This will list your vmarks as their deleted, if you want to prevent the window for closing after it finishes, just type "pause" without the quotes, under the "del *.vmark /s" line and it will say "press any key to continue"
/Start/ Source Code to remove-marks.bat:
@echo off
del *.vmark /s
/End/ Source Code to remove-marks.bat

You can fold a standard size paper clip to make a stand for it to sit upright on a table for watching a video while you don't want to be holding it, or for showing a group of people a video or for just playing music. Look up the one for the Iphone.
Desk stand from paper clip:

and this design.
Below is my own invention of re-designing the paperclip stand and making it more secure and higher off the surface to increase sound output. It can also partially collapse.

$90 JXD1000 http://www.ownta.com/jxd1000-4-3-inch-game-pmp-mp6-player-with-camera-and-tv-out-8gb.html . There seems to be confusion as to if it has a 1.2MP or 2.0MP camera, as different sites say one or the other.

CAUTION!
Hong Kong Time/Date
Be aware that when you buy from DealExtreme, Chinavasion, China, Hong Kong, Korea, that it can take weeks to months to get your item purchased. Items bought in the US ship to the US a LOT faster. I bought mine from my country so I received it quickly, also if it arrives broken, the longer it took to ship, the longer a return/refund will take.
