I don't know where mp3access comes from, but I like what they did to the Balcktact portable media player. I still don't understand why they chose such a stupid name. It actually makes me think about Blackcat. I don't know why.

The most impressive thing is that this media device is the company's first attempt to enter the electronics market, which says a lot about their portfolio. These fellows succeeded what a lot of heavy names in the industry failed, meaning smashing some competitors from the 1st try.

It may feature only 2GB of internal memory storage, but it can reach far more via the integrated Mini SD card. Regarding its capabilities, it can deal with a lot of file formats on the market, such as MP3, MP4, WMA, WMV, ASF, WAV for the audio content, AVI, MOV, RMVB, MPEG, MPG for the video files and JPG for photo capabilities.

Besides that, the portable device doesn't looks too bad either, showing off its cool 2.4 inch screen display with a decent resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The main attraction is the elegant touch sensitive pad. Sharing is also possible, using the built-in loudspeakers; if not, there is the alternative of private listening, as it also features a 3.5mm jack.

Additional features mention something about a built-in FM tuner, an intuitive and friendly interface, as well as language support for various countries and more. The media player can even double itself as an e-Book reader.

Moreover, the sound performances can also be maximized using one of the equalizer modes it features, to suit all tastes in music. In case listening to the player becomes boring, the user can switch on the FM tuner, or it can try to record some funny memos from friends. The funny thing is this fellow can actually do all these things using a single Lithium-ion battery. For file transfer it works only with USB interface. And if I told you it costs only 100 euros, would you believe me?
