These are what I like about my new baby.
I have a penchant for MP3 player. Been doing abit of research, read up and dishing out reviews on the current market for digital music player. Struggling with the choice to get hard-drive or flash memory MP3. The former has an enormous storage space of up to 60GB whereas the latter only has a maximum capacity of 256MB. Each type has its own pros and cons, ultimately it all boils down to what are your requirements and expectations. Of course the vital criteria: BUDGET.
iPOD (mini is a darling too!!) warranted my attention, not only its exquisite features, big storage space, good audio quality but also its overwhelming price tag. Way too pricey. Hype gadget.
Creative. ZEN Jukebox or NOMAD MuVo. Too many versions, spoilt for choice. More affordable, features (appearance wise) may not be as attractive as the iPOD but definitely not short-changed in the audio and storage department.
My verdict: MuVo Slim MP3 player integrated with FM radio. It is sleek, slim and very compact, just right about the size of a credit card. Very stylish too and super lightweight. With flash memory of 256MB (128MB also available). It comes in an assortment of colours. My favourites: Basic Black & Metallic Silver. The bundle also consists of a leather case, earpiece, CD (software installation) and a USB cable.
I purchase mine with much aniticipation and excitement. Popped over to the Creative @ IBP, yes there is a sale going on there. My oh my, crowded with people, armed with baskets full of MP3, thumb-drives, sound blaster, peripherals etc. I missed alot of good deals at the COMEX (heard that iPOD are selling at a very cheap price). So not wanting to repeat my mistake, got my good-natured-always-helpful vendor to drive me all the way to Jurong East. In fact, he bought more than I did. Overall, we both had some great buys and you can see us smiling happily as we excused ourselves from the warehouse.
Yup, the sale is still on till this Sunday (5 Sept 2004) and each day, they will have some STAR BUYs and oh, you can try bidding as well. What are you waiting for, go get yourself a MP3.
