Toshiba MP3 Players-Gigabeat

Executive Summary about MP3 Players by Mike Singh

With the very large hard drive with the 2-3/8″ screen, Toshiba is doing well to pick up its name in regard to the MP3 players. Preloaded with Window’s Mobile software, and the intuitive interface on the Media Center edition of Windows XP, any television show can be translated immediately onto the gigabeat.

Many features are available, such as the WMV 7, WMV 8, and WMV 9 video files – and the JPEG display images. It plays MP3, WMA, protected WMA and WAV audio fields. Its 60GB holds up to 2,000 hours of home services, up to 240 hours of movies, built-in FM tuner with 30 preset stations, high-speed USB interface with cable. It offers up to 20 hours audio or 4.15 hours video, with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery.

With Toshiba’s type of reputation, a person expects them to put out the same type of product. If you are wondering what customers are talking about, lets start with the screen. Toshiba produced a great 2.2″ screen that views as well as any digital media player on the market today. Because the Toshiba Gigabeat Mobile Audio Player is just that, an audio player. You can view photos, but no video. What a waste of a big time screen.

Next, a place where an MP3 player can be labeled great or horrible, is the navigation system. Toshiba has designed a PlusTouch system that forms a cross in the middle of the player. Like Apple, Creative, and everybody else, Toshiba believes in their system, but this one is weak to say the least. Toshiba offers the Gigabeat Room Management Software that inexplicably attempts to reformat all MP3 files into a .SAT format.*

Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Ultraportable Speaker for MP3 Players

The portable iM-237 Orbit speaker system is a perfect means for sharing your MP3, CD player, music-allowed phone, or laptop tunes anytime, anywhere. Slip the device out of your pocket or bag for an instant audio broadcast. Just plug and play–the unbelievable, full-bodied, 360-degree sound will spoil you with its clarity and range.

Wherever you are, you can use this tool to share music with your friends from your favorite music device, or because you’re not comfortable using headphones.

This  battery powered speakers is a bit more stylish than its predecessor (iM-207), and the price is 130% more.

It comes with a glamorous padded and zippered holding case with a mini carabiner clip and a tie that can be connected to the speaker to protect it to your wrist or hang on the wall, do not have a 1/8th to 3/32 adapter.

The sound is cleaner also than the iM-207, more certain at both ends and easier to listen and has more volume. I would not say the sound two times better though, but I would say more like 40% better. I’m not an acoustic engineer and do not have audio equipment to evaluate the quality of every empirical basis.

The iM-237 does have a kind green LED to let you know the power is on and a simple push button on/off button (which is prone to accidental activation) cable that hides neatly in the frame of the rollers in the base and secures the plug either too good, it’s hard to get it if you don’t have long nails!

Finally, if you want to have a cheaper battery powered speakers, you can choose the iM-207, but if you want the sound quality device, buy the iM-237.*
