Review

When you think about MP3 player video models, your mind probably automatically goes to the big names, such as Apple’s iPod or Microsoft’s Zune. The Sony Walkman MP3 player video is one example.

The 1.8 inch LCD monitor is comparable to that of another MP3 player video types on the market and the 4 GB hard drive is capable of holding a good deal of viewable footage and photos. Plus, the quick refresh rate means the videos are going to run better than on comparable MP3 player video gadgets.

The device comes with an FM tuner plus has an impressive 33 hours of battery existence (music playing only). Priced at just about $120, the Sony Walkman player is a bit more costly than the under $100 Microsoft Zune.

If you want to purchase an affordable MP3 player video device, then you might consider the Coby model. The device seems to have all of the bases covered: 2 inch LCD screen, built-in FM tuner, 4 GB hard drive, and iPod-like navigation.

Customers have complained about difficulty in moving files from their computer onto the device.

Bear in mind that the gadget is only well-matched with the Windows Media Center, too. Other consumers have complained about the gadget locking up during use and losing the battery charge after only for a moment. The Coby MP3 player video version could be a lovely alternative for a younger consumer or for a casual client.

Both of the above types are from companies with names known in the industry. What about a device that’s merely claim to renown is looking like an Apple iPhone?

The 2.8 inch screen is large and the $44 price tag seems like a great deal. However, many consumers reported broken devices and a lack of customer support for the product.
