This may have been loaded with English language classes. Extra tuition for students is a big market in India and other companies have done similar things.

That might also be related to why they're in repurposed camera chassis. Probably a very cheap and accessible way to make a multimedia player: all the features, connectors and processing necessary are already there, so if they bought up a bunch of surplus cameras they would have been able to open them up, remove the camera lens and sensors, then replace the firmware. Pretty ingenious method to do a short run of media players cheaply with halfway decent quality.

Man, I’ve spent the last 4 years of my life working on a product for the Australian market, and I didn’t piece together that “Wedge Tail” was an actual Aussie bird until today. This has truly been an edifying lucky dip.
the big chinese one actually looks neat. i wouldve been stoked to have that as a kid, as bootleggy as it is that looks like something i wouldve begged my parents to have
I remember playing with my dad's PDA as a kid. Then in middle school I had 360p TH-cam on a slide phone. Then high school I got my first laptop, one of those HP mini's before they came out and it ran off it's own Linux distro.
7:07. AirTone V-51.(his true name) I have an touchscreen version. She can handle flacs and flash drive. Has even an volume for 64 om headphones. The screen is broke, but flash drive is still working. 7 years passed since I got it. Loved it.
NIIT is the "National Institute of Information Technology", an Indian organization that specializes in IT education. If you've met an IT person in/from India, chances are they've taken some courses from NIIT. That first nuggest was probably a customized version of a different product, meant to be given to NIIT employees as a gift perhaps?
I love how the recordings always gives me the vibe of that one friend who does the craziest stuff, and sends u a voice message at like, 4 am telling what he did.
after dealing w my father’s passing (yes my last parent finally left me) and whatever is left of his possessions… watching wade pull out nuggs literally gives me some peace at times… onya wade and never change 💜👍
bro i just want to say thank you. ive been going through a rough area, whenever i close my eyes for more that 3 seconds i cry but your videos are helping me through this thank you so much
Super thanks for the entertaining drops mate. Love coming home from a shit day on a construction site, crack a beer and watch a new Dank Pods vid. Turns my whole day around with a few giggles. Thanks again Mate, from Vancouver ISLAND Canada.
7:02 thanks to Google Translate, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't supposed to leave China/Taiwan...because (in both systems) it directly translates to "Sony Ericsson."
It has Wang Han 汪涵 on the start up screen, a popular host from Hunan TV. So I think this nugget was definitely made for mainland PRC market. He endorses many different products in China.
@@michaelturner4457 I KNEW I recognized him, all that time watching tian tian xiang shang solely for Wang Yibo finally paid off in the most insignificant way possible!
It’s a similar name to Sony in Chinese the first character is the same but the second one is just part of the Chinese name for Ericsson. Sony is 索尼, with 爱立信 being Ericsson so Sony Ericsson is 索尼爱立信. It was a device made for the Chinese market and was quite popular 10+ years ago.
Nugget dips and Cashie's Specials are what got me hooked on this channel. You should make a playlist for just those (that would be pretty neat). Thanks for the dip... I'll see ya at the next one.
I love how when the Zen broke in half, and you said, “Well that’s one way to get it back,” it was the sanest you’ve sounded in months 😂 Love the Aussie Man series BTW. Such great lore!
This was uploaded at the PERFECT time for me. I just binge-watched all the Nugget Dips last night! And while not THE luckiest dip dank's had (his Patreon ones seem to go a lot better for some reason,) this is the luckiest dip in a main video.
oh man, i had that exact model of zen creative, but in blue, back in the day. sad this one had died, it's a pretty solid piece of hardware. no unnecessary frills, just a nice lcd to show you what you're playing, a good enough sound driver for the mp3 quality of the day, and enough storage space to put an album on. i remember loading it up to prepare for the day and just jamming out. good memories.
My first music player was a white Creative MuVo V100 and it looked just like that Zen, except it was sort of a two-part thing where you pulled the part with the screen out of the rest of the player and it had a USB end on it that you'd plug right into the PC. No folder structure at all as far as I remember, it just played every song that was on it either in order or on shuffle lol. Fun to see something similar pop up here, I love the nugget dips.
Preferable to Apples solution, which becomes even more of a pain in the a** to use as they get 'old', not that Apple wants any of their older devices to be used.
8:34 3G was my favorite! I had a teal one for years, had millions on the blackjack game it came with 😂 my arse of a brother stole it and sold it for drugs. Then apple went all ... Apple so never got another one. Fond memories though. Things battery would last days it was awesome. And the near square shape was *the best* in your hands
3:46 "I like how the O was just a logo so it literally just looked like it said hell" y'know with how cursed some of these nugs are I wouldn't be surprised if that's where some came from.
Man, i had to pause video to write this - stories you tell during mic tests - it's something else, like easily double-triple-quadruple fun when video got mic test :)
This is always so fun. Brings backs memories of the good ol' days when MP3s where basically everywhere and you needed a pack of batteries just to get through the day... Ahhh good times. Dank, I'd like to thank you as well for all the great videos man. I've always liked retro-tech and music and all this is just fantastic. Just the other day, after your last video and after loving the way your Sennheiser always sounded in comparison on the freakish ears on a stand, I decided to gift myself some HD660S2 and a Fiio K3 V2. Been eyeing some sennies for a while and finally did myself a favor. Mind blown.
I love the nugget lucky dip. I never thought you find an iPod in there.. this was a good one. Uuh more in the after show? Everyone has to give this guy one dollar to see this!
I miss how all screen-based technology in the late 2000s/early 2010s had funky nature scenes as their bootup screen. My old bootleg iPod nano said "Hello" with a bunch of flowers surrounding it, it was such a pleasant and welcoming image
This is exactly the kind of video I need after an extremely crappy day (very nearly punched the managing director at work, really had to hold myself back)
Thank you very much for your great content, I’ve watched and enjoyed every video of yours. Next Thursday is my birthday and I might stay up till 11 pm because I’m in Germany and that’s about the time your videos release. Regards Ben, 30- (minus)18 years old ( but soon I’ll be OLDER!)

"That's not a nugget, that's a whole chicken!" May be my new favorite quote on the channel.
New DankPods lore just dropped 😂
Somebody has to make a lore video out of these recordings, they’re like peak MCU territory of entertainment
Those voice recordings are like if you gave Harmony Korine a billion dollars and told him to just go nuts.
Guy whos only seen MCU movies watching his second ever media: this is giving me big MCU vibes
There actually are a few fan animations of them, I think the giant airpod is my favorite
Lore? Is that like low key or transgingers or something? I have no idea what kids are talking about / renaming these days.
The DankVerse
If someone animated some of dankpods mic check stories i would absolutely be over the moon. These things just keep getting better
Some people did a few, just write "dankpods animated" into your search bar
Lmao there are already several
th-cam.com/video/JitHuHJdxFw/w-d-xo.html
i just want someone to write them into an ongoing novel starting from the beginning... preferably Rick Riordan because it's right up his alley
@@pvshkaThat person is the best animator on earth
when I hear the mic check histories I always think of an old tape player on a horror game playing his histories
That nano looks like a prime opportunity for a good old fashioned i-nug repair
So you got a digital camera without the camera and an entire season of Modern Family with Chinese subtitles. I would call that a win!
More like a viewfinder of a Camera, haha
You know what, screw you

The best part about these nugget dips is the microphone test for each working device.
