"Lightweight, cheap, another option besides Ipod mini"
Pros: Lightweight, cheap, different, Looks very pretty.
Cons: No radio receiver, voice record, color screen & the capacity is really quite odd
Summary: Even though this mp3 player lacks radio receiver, voice recorder and color screen, this portable player really is beautiful and stylish. It also doesn't have the color screen like new coming mp3 and pvp.
However, the attractive part is the weight where you feel comfortable wearing it around your neck. It certainly is lighter than an Ipod mini. The whole package comes with a necklace attachment.
All of my friends have the Ipod mini and I guess I want to distinguish myself from the crowd. I have to say I succeeded in doing that. Most of them even admit that it does look better than theirs'.
The capacity is rather odd for an mp3 player this size(3GB). I guess it was targeted for people whose music preferences change with the time and their playlist always stays no more than 500 songs at a time(like me).
I would suggest for people who prefer to spend a little bit extra, go for the Iriver H10 or Cowon Iaudio. They are about the same size as a normal ipod and weight, but you can get a color screen.
If you feel like wearing a hard drive based mp3 player like a necklace, then this mp3 player will definitely make your dream come true.
Bottom line, if you want a lightweight and quite cheap mp3 player that just plays music like what it is meant to do, then this player is the one for you.
