MPIO's MO100 DAP takes a note from Grundig

MPIO's MO100 doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going for it, and interestingly enough, neither does Grundig's MPixx 2000. Of course, that could be because they're likely the exact same player save for the branding. Just look for yourself -- you'll notice the same 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, MP3 / WMA / SMV / JPEG / BMP format support, FM tuner and real-time recording as found on the Grundig, and in case you needed any additional proof, the MO100 arrives in 1GB and 2GB flavors, too. Nevertheless, it still features USB connectivity, around 12-hours of continuous playback and looks a touch nicer in that blue motif, but don't expect anything revolutionary for obvious reasons.

Wooooh. That looks like a great device. One of the nicest players I have seen in a long long time.

Hardly surprising. One (struggling, no?) minor DAP manufacturer stealing ideas (no, make that the whole friggin' design) from another. Has mpio released anything decent since those cutesy budget DAPs?

I made the mistake of buying 2 MPIO players a couple of years ago, one for me and one for a gift. They were both steaming piles of excrement. Both stopped working after less than a year, and the PC software is beyond weird and never did work properly, thus making it next to impossible to get files on and off it. I would never buy any MPIO product again.
