Not impressed by these guys. If they know thjese things happen why not do the upgrade before they send out the players or at least make it simple to use their upgrades. So far I have spent about 12 qud sending stuff back to them and still dont have a working player. BAH HUMBUG
PLAYS mp3,WMA and ASF music files. 20 hrs playtime on 1 AA battery, built in FM Radio (record function)and Voice recorder.approx 4hours of music on WMA format and you can record from the FM tuner. so small i put it in the band of my hat,
highly recommended
I've got the Kiiro 128, and that's good, but these players are gonna get sooo much better over the next few years.
£145.
but have just noticed them on e-bay.com in the USA for much less.
Ear phones stay put even through extreme training.
If anyone else is after one, I've seen them on ebay.co.uk for about £150.
What program do you have on your computer? I was quite interested in the i-River but on reading user reviews someone said they had to download new firmware for it to work on Windows XP and I never get anything to work after downloads so don't want to do that. Does anybody know anything about the Tuny 256Mb player on Advanced mp3's website? You dont need a computer to use it so if I don't get it to work through mine it's another option. Any thoughts?
i have XP, I had to on to i-river wesite for further instuctions so i could obtain certain drivers to make it function but believe me if i can do it anybody can
Amazon have a Nike-Philips ACT211 for nearly half the price but I can't find any info on it. Does anyone know anything about the ACT211?
Don't you mean the ACT200? (think it's the same as the ACT210 but with half the memory or chip or whatever they call it) : 64mb vs 128mb
MuVo 64mb is now £60 in Currys and Comet.
Nike/Phillips 64mb is now £80 in Argos and Toys R us.
Big Q is - are they really worth it or should I just get some headphones that don't fall off and a belt pack and take the CD player out wiht me instead? Had a mad dance aroud with it and it didn't skip so....?
Don't buy a 64MB would be my advice. They really are too small for sensible length recordings (~50minutes) - especially if you can't play WMAs. 128Mb should be your minimum. If you want a bargain, follow advice on good ebay offers.

For £109 this looks to offer a lot!
Cannot find any consumer reviews anywhere though.
Main focus is to have something really robust/portable that has a half decent sound
and can stand 'intense' workouts (yeah, right!)
I've spent the last few days intensely researching, having shortlisted down to DAH900 and the M_Any T-Mate Premium (also featured on www.sporttek.co.uk)
Finally decided on the T-Mate (the 128mb version is available for £100 incl delivery + carry case etc from www.mp3players.co.uk).Fairly arbitrary decision in the end since they both serve the purpose.
The consumer reviews were all positive.
Will feed back when I've tested it and give my thoughts on it to any others in the market.
I fancied the MobiBlu DAH 900 when I saw it too.
Go for a cheapy and replace when it gets ruined. THe eay the technology is moving it will be outdated or leads cheaper soon
It has 5 cd's on already and that has only taken half the memory.
It was £175.It comes with an arm band that you attach it to so thought it was ideal for running.
Hope he likes it! I have obviusly had a little play with it and I rekon its great!....
maybe i should keep it!!
and seem to go for around £45 - 50.00
I gather you need new headphones with most models - so it looks like a good buy..
Saw your post regarding the Philips ear-gear headphones as well- Saw a pair of these on ebay for £4.99
Looks like I'm set for about £50.00 - not bad for post-christmas shopping...
Don't.
It's rubbish.
You get what you pay for.
The headset connects to a microphone for phone use. It has an 'auto-answer' mode when the headphones are connected.
I do a lot of solo running at night so I find it very useful to have a phone, just in case....
There's only two drawbacks
- it's a bit bulky, but it does fit nicely into the rear bum pocket of my shorts/tights so I don't notice it
- if anyone rings me up while I'm running, they think they've got through to some heavy breather!!!
Sound quality is brilliant - Get some decent headphones and your done!
They seem to go for around £45 - 50.00
I got mine as "buy it now" option for £48.00 from a UK supplier (most seem to send them from ShangHai or HongKong)
Right - I'm off for a run!
Just downloaded "Keep on Running " - Spencer David Band" :-)
