World's Smallest MP3 Player

Posted by timothy on from the at-this-point-in-time dept.

Chris_Yates writes "mobiBlu is claiming to produce the world's smallest mp3 player, the DAH-1500 cube. The player is 24x24x24 millimeters (about the size of the tip of your finger or various small items), weighs 18 grams, uses OLED technology, and comes in a variety of colors. The 1GB version is currently selling for $130 at Wal-Mart. Buy one today, so you can lose it within a week!" Update: 07/25 22:56 GMT by T : An anonymous reader points out this review of the device.

    People seem to be focused on size, but SHAPE is just as, or even more important. What you you rather carry in your pocket, a SQUARE, or a FLAT RECTANGLE (IE: shuffle, sony thing, etc.)

    Imagine a corner of that stupid thing digging into your leg. No thanks.

  2. Almost the exact same volume as the iPod Shuffle. by argent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    1"x1"x1" = 1 cubic inch.

    0.98" x 3.3" x 0.33" = 1.06 cubic inch.

    And the shuffle is easier to fit in your pocket.

    Yup, the shuffle is easier to pocket, but a display screen, nested folders, WMA playback and an FM tuner kick in features Apple is to elitist to include. (PS, I'm writing this missive on my Powerbook...but I do think Apple is elitist.)

    Yet another manufacturer fails to make the distinction between "we can" and "we should."
