Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The key to the Colby player is to manage your expectations. The player will play music, pictures, and movies - but it is a far cry from an iPod Nano. The player holds 2GB of data and does have decent audio playback.
Things to consider
+Can be used to store photos - Who needs a keychain that can hold 2 or 3 pictures when the Colby can hold thousands!
+ Small size - very portable
+ Nice features - will play videos!
+ 2GB means that you can hold thousands of music files
+ Software makes it easy to rip cds to the Colby - you can choose individual songs or the entire cd
+ Great price - I mean a really great price!
Areas for improvement
- The FM radio only seemed to pick-up one station
- As expected - it is completely incompatible with iTunes. Meaning if you have a large iTunes library you will have limited luck transfering those files over to your Colby.
- Flimsy - I wonder about long-term reliability
- Playlist system is lacking - I mainly sort using Genres
- Toggling between menus is not that intuitive (in my opinion)
Final verdict - yes, there are some drawbacks - these drawbacks would be huge if the Colby player was priced the same as other media players. It is not, and your expectations should be guarded. The device will hold and play 2Gb of media and offers a display for the cost of a standard 16GB FLASH DRIVE! It is a nice cheap alternative for those who really just need a way to store and show a few pictures or wants a cheap media player for the gym.
5 Stars (graded on a curve due to the price)
