As much as it looks like any ordinary MP3 player, this round black beauty is anything but. Built with a colour OLED screen, this is one of the smallest portable media players we’ve seen that’s capable of playing both audio and video – even though its screen fits within the circumference of a 10c coin, with a matching resolution of 96 x 64 pixels.

 What you get in the box is a USB cable for data transfer, a decidedly funky set of ear phones and of course the player itself. The unit charges through its USB connection, and this only takes an hour at most. Strangely, there’s no warning when the power’s low and it promptly flicks itself off. Unfortunately, the USB connection is not USB 2.0, so file transfer is decidedly slow.

 For audio, the playback is great and all you need do is copy the files right over, supporting the MP3 and WMA formats.

 For video playback, however, each file must be encoded into MPV files using the supplied software, which takes quite some time depending on the video.

 Having done so, the framerate that the video is shown at sits below ten frames per second, so video playback is more a novelty.

 The main issue with this player is whether or not one would actually use the video playback so much as to justify having the capability. Luckily, going in the unit’s favour is the tag price at $199 for the 256MB version.

 Thanks to the cheap development process of OLED displays, the addition of a colour display didn’t affect the price as much as you’d expect.

 If you’re after a particularly large capacity audio player that happens to have video playback and an FM receiver under the hood, this is worth a peek.
