One of the biggest advantage of Creative MUVO T100 (2GB) is its stick type USB capabilities. This means that no weir is required which makes it very compact and as its name suggest mobile. Even the size is just right, dump it in any of our pockets and off you go.

The funniest part is that when it gets affected by virus it has no indications, as if the machine has conked, just run a good ant-virus and it recovers in no time.

I was really impressed by the styling of the product, in a sense it looks very trendy and fashionable. The performance on the whole is just that of a basic mp3 player with the capability of playing back certain copyrighted formats. The three available color options are no doubt very attractive. It really cannot justify the price with its quality. I don’t know why but this the trend with most of Creative audio product. The design, styling and presentation are superb but can not match it in terms of its performance.

A note of caution and a piece of advice to all who plans to make this product their own. As with any USB device it is very prone to virus infections and extreme care should be taken while packing it with favorite tune from the web. The funniest part is that when it gets affected by virus it has no indications, as if the machine has conked, just run a good ant-virus and it recovers in no time.
The headphone that it comes with is horrible, better results are achieved with better headphone. The audio performance is very flat and murky. The bass is hardly there and the response to higher frequencies falls short of any expectation.
The range of options or features also very limited as I said it is just a basic mp3 player.

Although it has got a storage memory of 2GB at most 140 songs can be crammed although it depends on the file format and the length audio file, what I have suggested is on the basis of normal circumstances.
COMPATIBILITY:
It has limited compatibility. The point of real concern is that it does not have compatibility with Linux of Mac. But has no compatibility issue with Windows XP/Vista.
IT has no video play back and audio file compatibility is also questionable. As long as the mp3 format is concerned it has no problems. But I have my reservations about its WMA (non-DRM/DRM). I had my fair shares of problems with these kinds of formats.
BATTERY:
I expected a better battery performance since it has a flash based memory which is a non-mechanical solid state technology and hence more power efficient and lighter than the HDD. The 10 hour promise hardly comes off when played continuously. I haven’t got more than 5 and a half to 6 hours at most. The availability is quite abundant.
If not voice recording but FM radio feature was expected and it has such incorporation in some of its other version (not voice recording but FM).
NAVIGATION:
It’s slow but not difficult as it might seem on the first look. The controls on the back are quite useful. Browsing is sometimes very difficult and it tends to hang more often that not. Needs to be switched off and restarted.
Priced at around £ 25.00 to me is a little bit expensive although at first look it does justify it price but on the basis of performance, hardly.
