It's kind of like the art deco bastard lovechild of the
Nokia 7280 and the iPod shuffle—but
Transcend's T.Sonic 310 is indeed an audio
player, one that does MP3 and the standard WMA (they didn't mention PlaysForSure, so we're assuming that's not
happening), and comes in two flavors, a 512MB for $80, and a 1GB for $120. It's still a bit larger than the shuffle at
3.3 x 0.93 x 0.47-inches to the Apple's 3.3 x 0.98 x 0.33-inch footprint, but it does have a "replaceable" 18-hour
litium-ion battery.

Anything
But iPod]
I really really like this. A good alternative to the shuffle. Yeah screw u apple fanboys. I use a sony
network walkman 20 gb and it kicks ipods ass.....
No screen... I would still choose the Samsung one over this (and Shuffle... which btw, why does it always have to be mentioned?).
RIP OFF LOOSERS
What's a looser?
It always has to be mentioned because Apple is the market leader, and therefore the comparison point for all things in portable music. And as much as I'd like for some competition to come about to lower prices, it won't matter much seeing as Apple nets a profit of about 35% of each iPod sold.
From the website:
"The lithium-ion battery is replaceable. Please contact your local branch,or retailer for battery replacement service."
Doesn't sound all that different from a Shuffle battery to me.
#4 & #5: I don't know the name of the company, I care not to research into it but who ever they are they are the 'rip off loosers'! They have not, in my opinion, predominantly plagiarised Apple but Nokia, the Nokia 7280!!
Looks cool looking
