Diva Gem Bluetooth MP3 Player Review
i4u writes "I4U reviews the first Bluetooth-enabled MP3 Player. The Diva Gem from Daisy Multimedia enables users to use the player as a wireless Head-set or Hands-free device for mobile phones. So users can listen to music and can pick-up incoming calls with the MP3 Player. Pretty neat concept."
The "Diva Gem" from "Daisy"?
If they're not targetting 12 year old girls, I suspect they've made a mistake there.
You have to pay for quality. Get used to this idea, you'll see it again.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
>I am not willing to pay $200+ for any MP3 player, nor do I want to buy crap (cheap could easily break 10GB mp3 players or tiny storage mp3 players).
since your attitude is unlikely to yield much profit for any company, no company will make a product to meet your demand.
if you aren't willing to pay, your demand won't be heard.
why is this thread "Insightful"? since when is (basically) being cheap "Insightful"? either you pay for quality or you buy cheap. if "quality" goods can be made cheaply, then there'll be even better "quality" goods that are a bit more pricy.
Some of us like MP3 players that run for weeks on one AAA battery and have no moving parts. Look at it this way, there are two markets for MP3 players. In one you have people who want gigs of space for more songs then they can ever realy listen to. In the other you have people who want a small device that plays just enough songs and is realy durable. Two markets, two types of products.

I read the headline and got excited. I read the article and was disappointed.
The added bluetooth functionality is ONLY good for using this device with a phone. As cool as this is, this is not what I have been waiting for. I want to hide my MP3 player in my pocket, and listen without wires.
who would dread receiving calls when I'm at "the good part" of my favorites songs... One more example where putting two functions in one device is unnecessary and even detracts from the usefulness of either application.

Seriously, someone needs to get next gen batteries out the door or the wireless revolution is going to die before it gets off the ground. And I want my wireless life dammmit!
in bed.
