Everything is numbered these days…so let’s take a look at the top ten lists that I like.

This isn’t a bad little mp3 player.
pros: it has a screen, relatively cheap, has radio. The screen image is ok (note, the pic. of the girl is a sticker).
cons: the interface is somewhat non-intuitive. You have to push the left/right buttons to scroll down. The video is a nice feature but it uses .amv (converting software included) which is hardly used by mp3 devices. I’ve had no trouble getting video converted, lots of trouble getting the audio from the video to play (although I have had minimal success).
all in all: it’s not a bad mp3 player. I got mine on sale so maybe that’s why I’m not as disappointed. $40 is probably the limit on what I’d spend on this (although who knows what lesser mp3 player you could get for this $). Again, it’s not an ipod, but if you can be content with an mp3 player that has a few bells and whistles (but not great ones), it’s a good buy.
This player is so bad that the internet’s biggest gadget reviewer, CNET, had a segment called “prizefight” where they compared this device to a homemade mp3 player. It was a tie.

To top off all of the incredibly dumb design features and quirks, this thing has a 2.5mm headphone jack instead of a 3.5mm jack, meaning that you will need a special adapter in order to use any normal pair of headphones.
To quote CNET “It is a rare day indeed we come across a piece of technology that so utterly fails at its intended purpose, but American electronics manufacturer Coby has managed to produce just such a device: the Coby MP-C7000 series MP3 player.”
