4GB MP5 player at COMEX 2008

Juniper Foo | Aug 28, 2008

There's a certain pain to covering the COMEX IT bazaar that takes place every late August in Singapore. However, getting one's toes stubbed by some clod in the packed halls of Suntec City is a small price to pay when coming across bizarre offerings like an updated version of the Muse2 MP5 player.

Why MP5? Literally, it's an MP3/4 multimedia player that offers 5-in-1, according to the very helpful sales assistant who probably should learn to count since the brochure listed eight. A 3-megapixel digital camera, video camera, FM radio, video player, music player, voice recording, direct TV recording and games (with what was over 1,000 games bundled into the device).

There's no Web site for this Muse2, so we got this image off the brochure.

Small matter. What mattered was the carnival air caused by the man on the tall ladder outshouting his competitors through a loud hailer, touting a hard-to-beat deal over the next four days at COMEX. For the grand price of S$199, you also get a free 4GB SD card plus a mini portable fridge upon purchase of the fairly plasticky MP5 player (which an inbuilt battery, up to 8 hours of video playback time, ability to take on a multitude of video formats, a largish screen, mini-USB port for file transfer and onboard speakers).

Can it get any better at the fair? You bet, since this is one time tech geeks get to bargain like fishwives.

A very handy gadget with almost all facilities for a very good entertainment. Especially the Direct TV recording facility is helming me a lot. Thanks to Nasa Technics & Muse2
