Written by [t0rc]   

MP3 players keep getting more and more advanced. Soon you'll be able to get iCoffee from your iPod Cafe. All jokes aside these portable players are coming with loads of features and with everyone and their sister manufacturing them, how do you pick out the ones worth purchasing? The iPod line from Apple has really taken the industry by storm and seems to be the number one pick of consumers. Super Talent has created a small, lightweight, OLED utilizing MP3 player. With the ability to play video, audio (MP3 & WMA), FM radio, record from radio, line-in, and an onboard microphone it has a decent feature list. Add in 2GB of storage and a sub-$100 pricetag and it sounds like we have a winning combination. Lets see how it holds up in the real world.

It seems like ages ago that everyone wanted a walkman and their favorite bands on cassette. Then a few years back the compact disc revolution tookover the music market. Today we've moved onward to digital formats such as the infamous *.MP3. Highly portable, easily edited, digital music is the wave of the present and the future. Soon players began to come out of the woodwork, but none of them made a huge impact to the mainstream consumer until the iPod came along. Seemingly overnight the new Apple invention was everywhere and with that the integration of digital music into society took off. All sorts of players are out there today, from flash based to HDD, and more are on the way. Today we see the newest generation of devices incorporates decent storage space with a lightweight, slim, and sleek package.

The Super Talent 2GB MEGA Screen MP3 player comes in a sleek package and really looks to be a great competitor in the market. More on that later — right now we're going to introduce the relatively new company, Super Talent, that is bringing some new products to the tech industry.
