It seems like only yesterday that eFun was talking up its Nextbook Premium8 tablet (okay it was two weeks ago), but the company is already pitching the latest entry in the line. The Nextbook Premium9 has a nine-inch display, in keeping with the Southern California company’s fairly straight-forward naming convention. The slate runs a basic version of Android 2.3 (though the company assures us that a Honeycomb upgrade is on the way) and packs in 4GB of memory (expandable via a MicroSD slot), a built-in speaker, a two megapixel front-facing camera and, as a bit of a throwback, a mini USB port.

We had a bit of trouble on the software front — the tablet froze up on us a few times during our hands-on trial, in spite of the 1GHz processor inside. The hardware itself is a bit more promising, however. It’s actually a pretty slick little tablet that has a nice feel in hand, thanks in part to its brushed metal rear — though the tablet does feel a bit on the thick side. The asking price for the Gingerbread slate is 9, though the company made a point of letting us know that it’ll likely be a bit cheaper when it goes on sale in November / December, running consumers closer to 9 — better, sure, but perhaps still not low enough to bring too many folks over to the eFun way.

Battery life is very important when you buy a mp3 player because you may want to listen to music on a long flight so it must provide you with long hours of audio playback. 11 hours of audio playback is what this player has scored during tests. The figures are ok but they are very low compared to the 36 hours that the Creative Company initially promised. Video playback can last a maximum 5 hours and a half.

When you are on the market looking to buy a cheap mp3 player, you can rest assured as there are a lot of affordable models which you can find a lot of information about on online stores. An example of such a cheap mp3 player which is also quality material is the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ which comes at a starting price of $29.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ comes in 3 different storage versions. If you want the 2 GB version you are going to have to pay $39.99, the 4 GB version costs $49.99 and the 8 GB version costs $69.99. When it comes to the design, this mp3 player is similar to its predecessors. It measures 2.1 x 1.3 x 0.4 inches in dimensions and 0.9 ounces in weight and it also comes with a belt clip which is going to help you carry it around and keep it safe at all times.  There is a square five way control button and it has a volume rocker and the mini USB port on the left side and the Micro SD card slot is on the right side. On top of the player you will spot the power button. When you open up the main menu, you will discover selections for FM radio, settings and music. The display measures only 1 inch in diagonal and reading what is on the display can be quite difficult unless you have great eyesight.

Even if this is a small and cheap mp3 player, it comes with a lot of cool features like the capacity of supporting different audio formats such as MP3s, WAV, WMA, OGG, FLAC and audible. The unit comes with a built in microphone which can be used for voice recording and there is an included FM tuner that comes with autoscan mode. Thanks to the microSD card slot, you can extend the memory of this player up to 16 GB. If you buy the 8 GB version of this MP3 player and buy an additional memory card of 16 GB, you will get 24 GB of MP3 player memory in total for less than $110. This is an incredible deal. The battery life will only manage to keep this MP3 player turned on for 15 hours which is not the best but not the worse battery life performance for this MP3 player.



To tell the truth, there are not many reasons why you shouldn’t buy this Sansa MP3 player. It’s true, it does lack a wireless adapter and the display is not touch sensitive and there are features that you will only find on more expensive MP3 players. The sound quality is good and the volume levels are also decent. In fact, the quality and features of this MP3 player are quite amazing and unexpected for a device which is this cheap. This is one of the best choices for a good portable MP3 player when you are on a budget. For those which are familiar to what the Clip than do, we can surely say that the Clip+ comes with visible improvements.

The Coby MP3 player looked quite funny to me when I first saw it. I thought that at first it looked like a toy and then it appeared to be more of a cell phone. Anyway, the Coby MP3 player is one little fellow that has some Aces up his sleeve. No matter how you look at it, this MP3 player, which has a starting price of $29 is a cute little guy which may just become your new best friend. Don’t get me wrong, this is not even close to the best MP3 players which we have seen so far, but I’m sure that the small Coby MP3 player has its fans.

<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->

The Coby MP C700 series MP3 player is our main focus for this article. Unfortunately, it seems that this particular MP3 player is failing at pretty much every chapter except, maybe, for the design part. Could it be due to the fact that this MP3 player is way too cheap? By cheap I mean that the 2 GB MP C7092 model can be purchased for less than $80. There is not much to complain about when it comes to the design of this little gadget. It has pretty much the same size as the iPod Nano except for the fact that the edges are rounded. There is a 1.8 inch display and below it you will notice five-way control pad. The back of the player is host to the on and off switch which is quite an unusual place to located such a switch. There are also one mini USB port located on the bottom of the player, plus a 2.5 mm headphones jack located on the top.

This Coby MP3 player will not exactly offers us something to write home about. Another Coby MP3 player which is not very spectacular when it comes to features, but it is spectacular due to its $20 is the MP C827. There is no display on this player. In fact, it looks more like one of those USB memory sticks which you use to carry around your files. There are 3 buttons on this MP3 player. The bad part is that you must get used to the same buttons for different functions.



The skip button must be held down and it will then work as a volume button. The sad part is that this MP3 player only comes with 128 MB of included storage memory. It runs with the help of one AAA battery which comes included in the package. Speaking of what’s inside the package, you will also find one USB extension cable, a CD with drivers and a pair of earphones. I think that it is worth saving a couple of bucks and buy a $50 MP3 player which can offer you at least a decent display. It is not that this Coby MP3 player is bad or anything, it’s just that there are so many MP3 players out there which are better and they are not even that expensive.
