mobiBLU US2 2 GB Digital Multimedia Player (Silver)

Amazon.com Product Description

mobiBLU's most advanced and stylish multimedia player yet, the US2 offers such features as a laser-etched metal keyboard, a large, full-color OLED display, and 2 GB of built-in flash memory--all in an ultra-slim, featherweight body that measures a mere 1.61 by 3.35 by 0.27 inches (W x H x D). With the US2, you can listen to downloaded music, watch video clips, view digital photos, listen to your favorite FM station, and even record the FM broadcast directly to the US2 for playback at a later time. It's an ideal device for traveling, working out, or connecting to your home stereo system or portable speakers for out-loud playback.

The US2's 2 GB of memory holds roughly 32 hours of CD-quality MP3 tracks (encoded at 128 kbps) or 64 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps), giving you plenty of audio for road trips. The secure WMA-DRM compatibility, meanwhile, lets you play tracks purchased from online stores or downloaded from subscription services. And thanks to the built-in microphone and voice recording function, you can easily capture interviews, lectures, song ideas, and short voice notes whenever inspiration hits.

In addition to supporting MP3, WMA, and secure WMA formats, the US2 is compatible with OGG audio files, MSV, WMV, MPEG, and ASF video files, and JPEG and MSJ photo files. Plus, the device is Podcast Ready, meaning you can manage and receive Podcasts from any Internet-enabled PC without installing additional software or drivers (the US2 comes with a Podcast software application). And mobiBLU made it easy to transport the US2 by including optimized, earbud-style headphones that double as a necklace. Other features include SRS WOW HD (high definition) sound enhancement technology; several preset equalizer modes (normal, rock, jazz, classic, pop, live, dance, and user EQ); a built-in clock with an alarm; a USB 2.0 interface; and a dual headphone jack that lets two people listen to the US2 at the same time.

The US2, which runs for up to 14 hours (audio) or six hours (video) per charge, weighs 1.05 ounces and is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
US2 digital multimedia player, earbud-style headphones, USB/charging cable, USB mini- connector, protective hard case, software CD, user's manual.

1 out of 5 stars junk.......2007-12-09

I second all of the previous comments in spades. I did get to work for a while by dropping it on a hard floor.

support directs you to a Korean language site for downloads of firmware

1 out of 5 stars Horrible product.......2007-05-14

I would not recommend this product to anyone. After a week of use, lines started appearing in the screen, therefore making the titles of the songs hard to read. Other than that, it started out nice.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible !!!.......2007-04-06

Unit barely worked for 1-hour, then wouldn't shut off. When it finally did shut off, the device cannot be turned on or reset as described in user manual. Support/sales phone number is useless. All messages go to support and to leave a message ... followed by a message that the mail box is full. No response yet via e-mail either.

The mobiBLU US2 is a $130 piece of JUNK!

If you buy one after reading this ... shame on you!

3 out of 5 stars It would be nice when producer solves some critical issues.......2007-04-02

I have purchased a mobiBLU US2 MP3 player with 2 Gb memory and I am very disappointed.

Right after receiving of package I updated firmware with version 1015 (downloaded from www.mobiblu.com). Following bugs are found after upgrading firmware (1013 -> 1015, I don't know if bugs exist in version 1013):

1. Playing time after full charge is less than declared: 5-6 hours only (instead of 15 hours!)
2. Player freezes when I try to enter FM mode (bug appear one month later after upgrading). Only Reset button can make player operable again.
3. Animation contains some bright pixels.
4. I can't connect player so that it charges and plays simultaneously.

I suppose that firmware version 1015 had not been tested because it contains so evident bugs. Unfortunately, newer versions of firmware is not released already 10 months.

Pros:
+ Good shape, light, small, thin
+ Good set of features
+ Price is low enough
+ Durable buttons. No need to use "hold" because it is very difficult to press buttons accidentally.
+ Player supports many character encodings (for example, russian - my native language). But fonts are not too good.

Contras:
- BUGS! (see above)
- Playing time less than declared! Actually, player charges 4 hours (inoperable during charging) to play only 6 hours!
- Proprietary USB connector (sux!)
- No visible indication of "Charge complete"
