MobiBlu DAH-1500i Cube Review

The tiny "Cube" is trendy, but it's so small that operating it is difficult and therefore not practical.

Eye-catching design ; Built-in microphone

Buttons require firm pressure ; Controls are very small

Available in blue, silver, black, and pink, the Cube has features that could qualify it as a mainstream MP3 player. Its tiny size makes it well suited for exercising or other activities on the go. However, that small size also makes it difficult to use

MobiBLU DAH-1500i review

Cube-tastic! MobiBlu DAH-1500i Editors' note: We have lowered the score of the DAH-1500i from 7.3 to 7.0, given the arrival of the more feature-filled Cube2.

The cute and stylish MobiBlu DAH-1500i features a user-friendly, ultratiny design; a bright OLED screen; and useful extras such as FM tuning and recording, voice recording, and SRS Wow sound effects. This MP3 player also works as a removable flash...

The MobiBlu DAH-1500i uses a nonstandard USB cable and has poor battery life.

If you love all things tiny, consider picking up MobiBlu's cute cube, the DAH-1500i.

MobiBlu DAH-1500i

What's just slightly bigger than a caramel, lets you rock out to radio hits or 1GB of your favorite music, can make its own recordings, and is available at Wal-Mart? The bite-size, full-featured MobiBLU DAH-1500i is billed as the "world's smallest"...

Very small and light. Good sound. Excellent recording capabilities. Innovative charging/USB cable.function Video(mypage, myname, w, h, scroll) {var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;winprops =...

Controls lock via a button instead of a switch. Charges only via USB. Included headphones don't let you carry the player in your pants pocket. Battery life could be better ; See the MobiBlu DAH-1500i in Action

The bite-size MobiBLU DAH-1500i is the smallest, most impressively full-featured flash player we've seen yet.

MobiBlu's tiny tenor tries too hard

This diminutive MP3 player from MobiBlu packs tons of features into a device measuring less than one cubic inch. But while it does some things quite well, other features suffer because of the player's size restraints.

Easy to use out of the box ; ultra-compact form-factor great for traveling light ; great voice- and FM-recording capabilities ; innovative combination headphone and lanyard design ; EQ presets and custom setting plus SRS option help songs sound even...

No iTunes integration ; small buttons and display make navigation difficult ; display shows filenames rather than artist and track info ; poor FM reception

The MobiBlu's FM radio will scan and set stations for you or allow you to do it yourself. Setting presets automatically is fairly straightforward: You access the menu while in FM tuner mode and then select Auto Preset. Manually setting stations...

mmm...sugar-cube

Overview The Mobiblu DAH-1500 first took the gadget world by storm when photos appeared comparing it to the supposedly super-miniature iAudio U2. Three of the cubes were piled up to equal the height of the U2. It was an amazing sight for all of us DAP-gee

It's too early to tell if the player is a hit or not, but if Walmart and Mobiblu play their cards right, they could be raking in the dough
