MP4 which is POOR

Advantages: The sound is pretty good
Disadvantages: The device is poor in every other area

...This review is for the Vega 4 GB MP4 player. Setup The setup for this device can be complicated. You are given the device in a box but you have to install the disc. The disc is quite tiny and it took me several attempts to actually get the disc to load up in the first place. Once the disc is loaded up you are then given this small application which you need to use to transfer your files over with. The problem is the application tends to lock up on you half way through the process of you actually sending the files over. The best route for you to get the files transferred over is by opening up the driver folder which you will find when you plug the device into the computer and copy and paste the files over this way. It does take a lot longer and can be frustrating but it is the only way for the files to be sent over...

Crucial 4GB USB drive

Advantages: backup, save important work, easy to transfer work or files from one pc to another
Disadvantages: none

...This Crucial Gizmo is great for anyone looking to backup there files up to 4GB. I have had this device for over a year now and it?s been great. You can save anything from pictures, music, videos, Photoshop files, pretty much anything you can think of really to this device. I backed up a few file drivers from one PC and placed them on to another PC, which worked great. This saved the hassle of writing a CD with the files I needed to place on to another PC which I would have probably only used once as well. This device is basically like having 6 CDS worth of data on or just under. The device is really easy to use, you basically plug the device into the USB slot and go to my computer, and where it says Devices and removable storage your device name will be listed e.g. Crucial. All you do from there is open up the storage device...

Review of Crucial Gizmo! USB flash drive - 4 GB

Sony NWZ-E436 4GB

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: Small capacity

...The first I want to say about this product is how long the battery lasts. I was playing around with this thing for a whole 2 days without the battery even going down under half. I later realised that the battery life was up to 45hours which is pretty incredible, considering it is longer than the Ipod touch. So 4GB may not seem to much to a lot of people, but for those who don't have a HUGE music collection, but want just enough to be able to store a few hundred tracks, this mp3 player has an ideal capacity. There is no easy sync like on Ipod but many find it easier to drag and drop songs that they want onto the mp3 rather than the problem that occurs when and Ipod can randomly start syncing with the wrong music! This product is very thin and lightweight as well so you will hardly notice it in your pocket. It also supports...

Nano 4GB

Advantages: Tiny
Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!

...I bought my first Nano a week ago and have had to take it back to the shop to change it already. For some reason I had problems getting it to turn on sometimes but the shop exchanged it for me and the new one seems to be fine. To being with, it really is a small as the adverts make out, if not smaller. When I first saw it I was shocked! The 4GB can hold approx 1000 songs and can also store photos but this obviously takes up memory so the more photos you have, the fewer songs you can store. Apparently the first batch of Nano's had problems with the screen cracking and people have said to be careful of forgeting its in your pocket and sitting down. This didn't surprise me as it is so thin but I have sat on it a number of times! Once for 40 mins in a lecture and it has been fine! It does more than just store music and photos though...

Kawai MP4

Advantages: sounds, key action, responsiveness, sturdy
Disadvantages: no dedicated windows driver supplied

...I purchased the kawai MP4 in Jan 07. This is my first "portable full size piano". I action of the keys is unbelievable and exactly as a real piano. The touch response can be customised to fit the style of the player and also each sound can also be customised. The MP4 has 64 onboard sounds which can all be altered, shaped and programmed to suit and then saved. The recent firmware upgrade provided by Kawai means that theres 264 memory allocation spaces to save your settings. The sounds can also be mixed together and custonised (up to 4 at once). The midi functions of the MP4 are in a class of their own. The onboad sounds can be "mixed" with external sounds and each turned on and off at the touch of a button. Most dedicated Midi controller keyboards do not have as many functions on as the MP4! The sounds are very realistic and not...

Review of Kawai MP4 Stage Piano

iPod Nano 4 GB Silver

Advantages: Fits easily into your pocket, battery life is superb.
Disadvantages: fiddly control wheel. Screen scratches easily.

...After owning many MP3 players in the past, i finally ended up with an iPod. I've never been a fan of the iPod, as i have always felt that they were expensive and just a style accessory. I received my iPod 4GB Nano for Christmas 2007. When i took off the wrapping, i was very surprised at how small the packaging was. Just a little clear plastic box with enough space to hold the iPod Nano itself, USB lead, headphones and some simple instructions. Im a big fan of small packaging and don't like to see items with alot of wastage packaging so I was very pleased with how the iPod was packaged. When i took out the iPod Nano, i was surprised at how slim it was, and also it is very light. I don't even notice it in my pocket unlike other MP3 players i have had in the past which have been on the bulky side. I needed to charge it via the pc and USB...

Toshiba U3 USB Flash Drive 4Gb

Advantages: U3 support
Disadvantages: Intrusive programme everytime you plug it into a computer

...The Toshiba U3 flash drive provides a versatile way to store your memory. It comes in 4 sizes - 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb. It supports U3 and allows the user to install programmes on the USB drive, and then run it on the computer directly. --- the BASICS --- The Toshiba U3 flash drive is shaped as a normal USB drive - long and thin. It has a cap to cover the opening of the USB port. The cap is connected to the main part by a small string which comes with the drive. Other than that the drive has no other parts. The storage provided by the drive shows up as 3.79Gb. This is because 4Gb is actually 4,000,000 bytes. When divided by 1024 twice (into Kb and Mb) it is actually just 3.79Gb. Furthermore even more space is used up - this is illustrated by the fact that when the user plugs into the computer, it shows up as 2 drives - the removable...
