Median M-Cody MX-400M: a VoIP phone and DAP collage

by Thomas Ricker, posted Nov 30th 2006 at 8:03AM

What do you do with a so-so DAP that hasn't exactly taken the global marketplace by storm? Well, if you're Korea's Median, you make use of that sliding USB jack, mic, and speaker already found in the MX-400, slap in some VoIP software from Callpia, and relaunch as the MX-400M MP3 Player and VoIP phone we've all been, uh, waiting for. The kit ships with an IR remote control, SD slot, about 20 hours playback of Li-Polymer battery, and even up to 2GB of on-board storage. They've also managed to pack in an FM radio, line-in recording, and support for MP3, WMA, ASF, OGG audio and AVI, MPEG1/2/4, and WMV video formats viewable on that 1.3-inch 260k TFT LCD. Impressive -- but just 'cause you can, doesn't mean you should. Anyway, if this sounds like the shiznit to you, then feel free to unburden yourself of the 149,000 Korean Won (about $161) required to take her home.

What is the dimensions of this new whizz?
It would be very excellent if it is not too big.

The MX400 is actually a pretty nice MP3 player, though it's a bit dated. (Perhaps that's why they added the VoIP feature, to snazz it up.) PROS: very nice flash-basd GUI. CONS: maxes out at 2GB flash (pretty measely by today's standards; 4GB should be the min). And, while it does have an SD card slot, if you notice in the picture, it STICKS OUT the top--that's right, the card doesn't actually go all the way inside the unit. Very strange design.
