INOVIX IMP-10 128MB
The INOVIX IMP-10 128MB is a feature rich MP3 player with an eye-catching look. The player is powered up with a Live Voice Recorder.
The IMP-10 is a wonderful sleek player by INOVIX, with lots of built-in usability and functionality. The product, despite its wonderful features, is not available in most of online stores. So INOVIX should focus on bulk manufacturing of the player and it should be made freely available on famous music stores.
Of course, the player’s largest drawback is immediately available by its name, as it only supports 128 MB of storage capacity. There are many media players out there with 50 times this amount, but if 128 MB is sufficient for your, then you can consider this player. The Blue LCD screen with a backlight and pixel resolution of 96* 26 can display ID3 tags-Artist, Song Titles and more. The player also has a Live Voice recorder facility with a 12 hour battery life.

Samsung Yepp U4
Samsung unveils the Yepp U4 portable audio player. The YP-U4 follows the Yepp U3 that Samsung introduced in 2007.
The Samsung U4 features a glossy black case in with different color gradients.
Other features of the Samsung U4 include a 4-line OLED display, DNSe 2.0 and USB port.
The Samsung U4 is a stylish but simplistic MP3 player that is a bit too big for my taste.
