Feature-Filled Datawrite Nitro

datawrite-nitro.jpg

At first glance the Datawrite Nitro might not strike you as being anything to write home about, but the amount of features that are available for the cost may soon change your mind.

Support for music only spans MP3, WMA, and WAV formats, but can be played through built-in speakers. Most video formats can be converted to MPEG-4 (AVI) with the included software for playback on the 2.0-inch, 220 x 176 pixel, 260k color LCD screen. The PMP also features picture display, FM radio (which can save 40 stations), games, voice recorder and a text-viewer. All of this is offered in 2GB for £34.99 ($70) and 4GB for £50 ($100).

This company has just duplicated a simple Japanese MP4 player, which I have funnily enough bought the other day for £40. Click on this link and you'll see it for yourself: www.uxcell.com/glacier-mp4-player-inch-tft-lcd-true-4gb-black-using-nokia-battery-p-5191.html So check it out and see the different MP3 and MP4 BARGINS. :)

P.S. By the way I bought the 4GB for £40, so it was a bargin indeed.

Hey Travis, The catch is that this MP4 player is a piece of shit. I wasted €75 on this, i would have had more enjoyment burning my money. Where do i even begin.

The instructions are non-existant, the software is laughable: i was trying to copy over a CD with 5 tracks on it, and no matter how i tried it wouldn't put them on the MP4 player in order even when i copied the tracks one by one, they still appeared in the wrong order. And the final straw came when i had it in my pocket with my mobile phone, and suddenly i heard a crack and the screen was in pieces, there wasn't even a scratch on my mobile which was a motorola V3 which isn't exactly a brick or anything. ONLY BUY THIS PLAYER IS YOU ENJOY WASTING MONEY OR YOU HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS! you have been warned.

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
