I’ve bought this baby for more than 7month and i’ve promised an updated review on my other blog.

So here it is…

***

Updated review (as of 6th June 2007)

Design wise – 6/10
black front, silvery & mirror-like back…
i could only say… it’s tooooo similar to a IPOD…
well, you could probably pass it off as a mini version of IPOD.

Memory (2gb) – 8/10
for memory, it definitely gets higher.
since 2gb is sufficient for me, haha.
i’ve put up till 200+ songs, and still able to insert another 50 – 100 more (depending on file size).

Battery life – 7/10
decent, can handle up to 5hrs of non-stop mp3s.
if you ‘conveniently’ forget to turn it off (like me – blur queen), it’ll take about 8-10hrs to discharge.

one full charge will probably last you 2days.
(based on 4 x 1hr bus ride)

Functionality – 5/10
could definitely be better…
as much as it looks like an IPOD, but sadly… *sigh*
the main menu is fine, just that i could never get the mp3s to play in random.
inserting of mp3 to memory, is as easy as drag and drop (or copy and paste).

Price wise – 7/10
i can’t remember how much i got it for… about S$199 (including the cube speakers) *grin*
but price for this little gadget has definitely drop roughly $50, since last year’s IT show.

Overall – 7/10
it’s a decent little gadget for portable music, video, photos and radio function.
but if you are looking for something much more fexible and slightly better, an IPOD / Creative mp3 will definitely be a better choice.
