Peep the GEIL iBall

By Ryan Block

It's always a bit of a red flag when someone's marketing a product with their own vernacular associated with it (and we're not unfamiliar with the practice by any means), and a bigger red flag when they're ripping off the design of a
device with bad design to begin with. GEIL's—that would be Golden Emperor International Ltd.—iBall MPV (Music Plus Video player) DAViD (Digital Audio Video Intelligent Device)
player is, um, apparently just a small disc-shaped (well how do you like that?) 256, 512MB, or 1GB flash player that can apparently play streaming video on its minuscule OLED screen. Well, actually, we're just assuming it's minuscule;
since GEIL didn't quote the size of the unit, it could be freaking huge, which would be equally bad. And what types of video and music it supports they don't say either—just that it has an FM radio feature, a text reader, and is USB 1.1 mass storage compliant. You just never know with these Chinese manufacturers, sometimes.
