14 DAY TRIAL // Mustek is not a huge name in the electronics industry, still it pops out rather interesting portable devices. The small Ivory Mp3 player is just an example in this regard. It is true, the player sports some humble dimensions; still, the makers have managed to pack it with an integrated screen display, enough to allow the vital info on your media content.
Sadly, there is no more than 1GB internal memory storage capacity incorporated in the device, which is not an impressive aspect of the item. The built-in battery was rated to last at up to 5 hours of continuous playback. And when it comes to its practical capacities, the player is said to support most of the file formats available on the market, such as MP3, WMA and more.
Easy file transfer is guaranteed via the USB 2.0 interface it uses. Nevertheless, size is also great to take into account when buying this sort of device, which measures of 42 x 14 x 7.5mm and weighs no more than 19 grams.
Besides being so nicely integrated in its casing, the player is said to be the main competitor of another rather cool looking MP3 player on the market, such as the ZicPlay Microkey, which is also a small player, measuring no more than 43 x 15 x 8mm and weighting a mere 18 grams. The tough point of the player is definitely its integrated touchscreen, as well as the multiple control scheme it offers, although the memory storage capacity is said to be the same - namely 1GB.
And if you're interested in one of the two players, both Microkey and Mustek retail online for about 40 euros a piece, a price tag which reflects the player's specs pretty good. However, Microkey offers the privilege of wearing the portable device on a chain, just like a regular piece of jewelry. Oh, wait a minute, so does its Mustek little friend. Such a coincidence...
