Ombre Vivante Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Target (pronounced tarjay) is selling these babies for 10 bucks a pop. You can use it as a boner fide mp3 player or as a 1GB flash drive. The only downside I've read in reviews are the headphones and sound. The headphones have this tiny, tiny, tiiiiiny jack, but I think you can buy some kinda adapter thingy for better headphones or earbuds. The sound... well, whaddaya expect from this thing?! 6-channel surround sound? I mean, I remember when the WalkMan first came out: that s**t was huge and it cost, like, 300 bucks to play $10 cassettes. This is a little stick and it costs 10... and it'll play a s**t-ton of music that is sometimes, er, free. Seriously, I could not have imagined the day. Hmmm, unless they make a Carl's Jr. 6 dollar burger that plays all my favourite tunes as I'm eatin' it, I think this is a pretty good deal. So, get thee to your local Tarjay and get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I also like the convenience of the small 5th pocket size, but I want quality sound and would prefer to invest in an adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think their MP4 but I would have to check. Some MP3 players don't support them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 It looks like it's a hit-or-miss. I just read another review that said it fell apart in a short time. I'll have to try it out. If it can last me, then I KNOW this thingy is werth its salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
