Smallest MP3 player ever- now where did I put it?
If you’re the type of person who finds it hard to keep track of your stuff then you’d better pass on the smallest MP3 player ever. The Ultimate Smallest MP3 Player is barely bigger than a cube of sugar yet packs 2 GB of memory and an FM radio onboard. The tiny player weighs in at less than an ounce yet can handle music in all the major formats, MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF, and WAV7. It connects to a PC running Windows 98/ME/SE/2K/XP, Mac OS 10, or Linux 2.4.2 via USB and the Lithium battery is rated for 5 hours of play time. $100.

It’s hard to tell without seeing other angles, but I’m pretty sure that’s the mobiBLU DAH-1500i. Not sure why WMV is being listed as an audio format, but if the player does support videos, then it might be the mobiBLU Cube2.
I’ve also seen a Sam’s Club version bearing an even more generic name than Ultimate Smallest. Looks like the OEM business is booming.
Amazon is selling the 1GB 1500i for $55 (clearance sale), which is a great price. I got mine about a year ago for over $100.
