Gateway DMP-200 3-in-1 Digital Music Player - digital player (discontinued)

Gateway DMP-200 3-in-1 Digital Music Player - digital player

Entered CNET Catalog: 08/14/2003

SKU: DMP200

Manufacturer: Gateway Inc.

Manufacturer description

The Gateway USB Digital Audio Player is an ultra sleek, multifunctional device that is much more than a typical MP3 player because it really is three products in one. Serving as an MP3 player, digital voice recorder and storage drive all-in-one, this product brings functionality and mobility to a new level. Incredibly easy to use, this audio player requires no special software - just drag and drop music and data files directly onto the device.

Product summary

The goodThe good: Plugs directly into a USB port; LCD; voice recording; 10-band EQ; customizable logo; rounded, rugged design.

The badThe bad: Memory not expandable; no carrying case or armband.

The bottom lineThe bottom line: Though nothing makes it stand out from similarly priced competitors, Gateway's first MP3 player is solidly constructed and has a few nice frills.

skips more then a cd player

Pros: small

Beautiful, Great Product

Pros: I tend to be the kind of person who researches tech things very indepth before finally making a purchase. When searching for an MP3 player, I looked at the Apple iPod, Creative MuVOs, Sony iRivers, and more. Finally, I happened to come upon the Gateway

Cons: One suggestion to Gateway, however: create a case for the DMP-300 so it doesn't get scratched in my pocket!

Cool gadget that has some bugs

Pros: This is the smallest and lightest mp3 player I have used. Very comfortable for long runs. I have had great battery life and the sound is of good but not excellent stereo quality (what would you expect?). I am on my second unit and will applaud Gateway for

Cons: My first 3 in 1 (256mb)would reformat if I tried to put more than 120mb of songs on it or if there was any error with the transfer. Sent it back and the new unit doesn't like to fast forward through songs and sometimes just stops playing for no apparent r

pretty cool.

Pros: The voice recorder is the differance maker. None of the other combo devices do that.

Cons: I should have waited longer. They've got a new one w/ a FM radio coming out.
