It's available in 512MB or 1GB capacities, and in colors of black, silver, blue, pink, orange, and red. Its competitive pricing ($100-$130) makes it an affordable option for those looking for the "smallness" of a flash audio player, with the convenience and beauty of an OLED display, FM tuner, and voice recorder. Helping to keep the unit small, the DAH-1500i has only one port, used for charging, file transfer, and audio out. The unit also includes SRS sound processing with a range of settings, which helps to create dimensional sound with only two speakers."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/mobi.jpg" /> <br /><br />This looks like an extremely well designed piece of hardware and it is definitely different from the iPod offerings. Smaller, more feature, a sweet looking OLED screen, and a nice price all make this a player a nice alternative. This model is available exclusively from Wal-mart and according the the mobiBLU website, there are currently shortages due to unexpectedly high demand.

Wait, wait, wait... They didn't expect a high demand for this? What were they thinking? :?

I actually considered getting one of these for the wifetobe, as she needs a small flash based player for the gym. Glad to finally find a review of the unit. Looks like the interface could use some work (as is to be expected with a screen that small), but other than that it looks like a great little MP3 player.

That is tiny - whatever next - 1GB flash players that are essentially just a pair of headphones - the only cable would be connecting the two ear pieces together.

Looks like it would be easy to lose. Or step on.
