The Worlds Smallest MP3 Player Upgraded- Mobiblu Cube 2

Mobiblu have updated the unfeasibly small 1" Cube MP3 player. This version 2.0 now has a full colour OLED screen, video playback and a JPEG viewer. We go all fingers and thumbs as we test it!

Tiny

Controls are awkward, Video screen is only 1cms wide, Sound quality a little lacking

If size is your primary concern, the Cube 2 may suit you, but if not there are better alternatives.

mobiBLU Cube2

The original MobiBlu Cube (also known by the less catchy moniker of DAH-1500i) was a marvel of engineering in that it packed a boatload of features into just one cubic inch. The next-generation Cube2 is physically identical to its predecessor, except...

Broad feature set. Versatile sound and playback options. Very compact. Works with Macs and PCs.

Included earbuds are odd-looking and clunky. Video conversion is buggy. Screen is extremely small and colors are poor. One-handed operation can be awkward. Short battery life.

The Cube2 is an impressive feat of engineering, but it's less practical than many other flash-based players out there because of its shape and size.

mobiBLU Cube2

The Cube2 is an unashamed novelty music player with a few nice surprises but a lot of frustrating design and interface issues.

A conversation starter ; Sturdy, difficult to damage ; They weren't kidding when they said it was tiny

Buttons too small ; Screen too small ; Awkward lanyard-style headphones

Having lost its biggest selling point in the wake of the much more publicised 2G Shuffle, the Cube2 struggles to be appealing. It's a cute, diverting little tech toy you can clip on a keychain and impress people with, but its many extras just don't...

mobiBLU Cube2

Very unique, and the "Ohh what's that?" statement comes into everyday life often. It's cute and it's small. The screen is annoying, so I avoid it as much as possible. I didn't realise it was so expensive until i saw the price the other day.

The size is great, teachers don't notice it, and the compliments are in everyday life. Auto Artist sorting is a great invention, plus with the genre, album and artist sorting it truly does make life a lot simpler

The small screen is unbarable. Although the size is fine with me, somedays it's just too small. I loose it easily although it's constantly in my pocket. The landyard head phones break easily, (which clearly have for me) so I use other not as expensive...

mobiBLU Cube2

I got this cube about a week ago, and it took me about 5 minutes to learn how to use it all. Fairly easy if you read the manual. I've never really had another mp3 player, but I've seen my friends' iPods or whatever they had, and this one is far better....

Pretty much everything

Nothing :)

mobiBLU Cube2

I have the DAH-1500i (AKA : the older cube) I'm very happy with this particular brand, because it keeps people occupied during classes or wherever. I know the screen may seem small, but as the days go along, you tend to get used to it. I saw the Cube2...

EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE, this I can promise you. It's most definatally a (Oooh, What's that? Is that an mp3 player?!) kind of a gesture

Yes, the button and the screen is small, but you grow into the fact that it's small, and you just adjust. Don't worry, it's always a good thing to have MobiBLU around. Really easy to put songs on this mp3 player, because it acts as a removable hardware...
