My guess is to show comparative size, but then why not just use a coin like other people do?]]>Aug 6th 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/Aug 6th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/Aug 6th 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/

Also, the e200 and Creative Zen V+ would be rather closer in price to the A1 than the Nano.
Come on, Engadget - get your backsides in gear and name the closest rivals to this device!
(To all you smart alecs, I know it's trying to bite into the huge market dominance of the iPod Nano, but if people wanted an FM tuner and/or video playback they'd most likely buy an e200 series or Zen V+ - therefore, the A1 is trying to take business from these two superb PMPs)

All the best,

Anything they've made for the last 5-7 years is know to be shit.

Our first DVD player broke down, it was an RCA.
I got two Lyras, one was a media player, the other one was a regular 128MB MP3 player - they both sucked - I got rid of the media player because it had an abysmal battery life (yay! 7" (I think) screen + 20GB LAPTOP DRIVE + 1 CELL NiMH battery) and the MP3 Player only plays in Mono now. I must admit I enjoyed being able to record stuff directly from my TV with the media player, though.

Now I own a Nano and a Zen Micro - Zen is becoming relatively unstable and... Meh, I don't know, the Nano seems to be better overall even though it's only a 2GB player (I got it for free with my car).]]>Aug 6th 2007 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/06/thomson-touts-a1-media-player-as-worlds-smallest/Aug 6th 2007 11:13PM
