That this is cool and small indeed. I wonder how fast it can transfer songs onto it. It used the Headphone port to do so, which is rather interesting. While it has no screen, I would probably still go for an iPod Shuffle, as you can use that as a USB Pen drive too, but good find Raggie, that thing is neat.

It in fact does have a screen. It's a small OLED display covering one of the six sides.

Favorable review! Now it just needs a Lux III /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here is one that is smaller.

It may be smallest on the longest dimension but the
total volume isn't much different than an iPod shuffle.
The shuffle is 3.3 x 0.98 x 0.33 inches = 1.067 cubic
inches.

But which shape would you rather have in your pocket?

Greg

Good point Greg about the volumes being equal. I think the shuffle would be much more comfortable to carry - the cube would stick out a little, and look kinda funny in your pocket. But you can't beat the iPod Flea! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

that flea thing is hilarious.

i have a samsung 1gb.

got myself the $50 sony "in-ear" earbuds...incomprehensibly incredible sound.

Pros:
mass storage!!!!! A MUST. and biggest deciding factor.
quite small
works on one readily available AA. sweet playtime.

cons:
cheap rubbery cover for usb port
no good holster and no clip for belt...too heavy to hang on neck with provided strap /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
also sticks out when put on a belt even if there was a clip, but the AA playtime is worth it.

I had a beloved Cowon iAudio 5 1GB model before selling it to make room for a pesky little addiction to flashlights (curse you, CPF!) Audio quality was bar none, but it still didn't keep me from wanting one of these cubie deals.

Any screen beats Shuffle's no-screen, and OLED is just sweet looking.

Thought I'd like my 100th post to be on one of Raggie's threads.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

do the oled displays emit light ?

they do emit light

sounds like a really kool gadget.

Those things are getting small. I still have my vintage portable cassette players but I've been thinking about getting one of these http://www.mobiblu.com/eng/e_sub_d220.asp
However, I heard they're only avaliable in Australia.

I have an iRiver IFP 880 though. I don't have a lot of songs on it, mostly it holds many of my "funny" sound effects and it has a tape adaptor connected to it. The FM tuner is nice though, my friends and I once "shared" one Ipod using the I-Trip transmitter and using small FM radios/tuners to listen together
