IRiver - iFP-180T

 

Recently we reviewed Creative's MuVo flash MP3 player and praised its minute size and stripped-down simplicity, which we felt more than compensated for the lack of frills like an LCD display. It made us think about ...

Relatively low priced, elegant, and great sounding, the tiny IFP-180T is supremely portable. Considering its 256MB of memory, we could live without a media slot.
