US welcome the funky second generation MobiBLU DAH-1500i codenamed Cube 2. The Asian makers claim it is the "the world's smallest multimedia player" and its size stands as proof: 25.4mm x 25.4mm x 25.4mm.
Although small and all that, the gadget has quite a lot of features to offer. To begin with, Cube 2 has a PlaysForSure Certificate, so you can playback downloaded content from subscription-based sites. The mini-player has support for MP3, WMA, "Protected" WMA (DRM) sound formats and it recognizes video and digital image formats, too. It comes in 1GB and 2GB flavors, which is quite remarkable for this little player.
Cube 2 offers an FM tuner, voice recording capabilities
