“In a word, wow! The Olympus m:robe MR-100 is a great looking piece of technology. With the device turned off, it doesn’t quite look like a digital audio player. Turning it on reveals its true nature. The LCD screen has a funky red backlight and the main controls are lit up with bright red LEDs. The front of the device is perfectly smooth except for the raised m:robe logo. “

“The final deal breaker for us on this player was the battery life. Though iRiver claims the H10 should have a playtime of about 12 hours, we didn’t get anything close to that in two weeks of usage. The most we ever got was about eight hours, with the default backlight settings which leave the screen off most of the time. Following is a summary of the pros and cons of the iRiver H10 as we experienced them.”

“The “XS” designation for the Archos Gmini XS200 must mean extra-small. It’s about as lean as you can make a 20GB digital audio player: a fraction over 4 ounces and a mere 3 by 2.3 by 0.8 inches. The goal was to pack the most music into the least amount of space, and Archos has succeeded admirably. This little MP3 and WMA player is a single-purpose gem
BMW’s cleverly named BMW MP3 Watch is a wristwatch with a built-in digital audio player. The watch features 256MB of onboard storage and can record voice memos as well. Besides playing MP3 files, the watch can also play WMA files and be used as a storage drive. Voice memos are recorded as WAV files.
The integrated Lithium battery is independant of the watch functions and charges with the included 1.5-meter USB cable. According to the company’s Website, the battery can provide up to five hours of playing time and it takes about two hours to fully charge.

By emulating the existing CD changer protocol, the PhatBox seamlessly integrates with a wide selection of head units, including those of several car manufacturers and aftermarket manufacturers.
The PhatBox plays digital audio in MP3, WMA, and FLAC formats, as well as the Audible format for spoken word content such as books and magazines from Audible.com.
