Performance

Cowon iAudio M3 (silver

Slimmer and lighter than iPod; 20GB hard drive; records from analog line-in source, microphone, or FM tuner; full-function in-line remote with display; comes with cradle; long battery life; Mac- and PC-compatible.

No display on main chassis; ports and display live on the adapter module or the cradle; doesn't support online music stores.

If you can live without a screen on the main body of the device, the iAudio M3's features and ultraslim form factor put it on the cutting edge of portability.

iAudio M3

iAudio breaks through the size barrier -- with arguably -- the world's smallest 1.8-inch hard drive mp3 jukebox, the M3. Are the iPod's days finally numbered?

Arguably the slimmest MP3 player yet to hold a 1.8-inch hard drive ; Full-function in-line remote with display

No display on the actual player ; Ports and display live on the adapter module or the cradle ; Doesn't support online music stores
