The Null Device

aka Cenodyne Grüvstick

Via Richard, arguably one of the less unpleasant things to be named "George" these days: the second MP3 player/USB flash disk in this review; 128Mb of storage, 10 hours of battery life, voice recording (to WAV files), and a doovy-looking LCD display, in a keyring-sized package, for AUP253, including postage. Very tempting, at first thought.

Though, when you think about it, 128Mb is rather inadequate for a MP3 player. That's 2 or 3 albums at most, depending on the bit rate and length. There's no way you could carry around the dozen or so desert island discs, and various other things you may wish to listen to, on one. So with such you could keep wiping and replacing its contents every day, deciding in advance what to listen to (and wearing out the Flash memory), or else make it into a dynamic "mix tape" of sorts; all of which involves a bit too much fussing and fiddling around. So, on second thoughts, I may give it a miss.
