There are a lot of portable MP3 players on the market, and we review the Nextar T-30 with Christmas looming just months away…
I think a lot of people often wonder what’s out there besides iPod’s in the portable MP3 player space. Nextar now has the Nextar T-30 for under $100, and it’s just a half inch thin, and weighs only a few ounces. You get a 3.5″ display in 320×400, 4GB of internal storage, and 8 hour battery. It has an FM tuner (and recorder), and has a voice recorder and eBook reader. It even has an SD slot!
The iPod is so wildly popular (and still expensive) that competitors are coming out with quality products that have features the iPod doesn’t. I’ve had iPod owners tell me “I don’t care about FM radio”, but you know, it’s nice to have when and if I want to use it! And in my opinion Apple is very self serving (and stupid) for not equipping all new generations of iPod’s with SD card slots. I’m sorry, if you are going to sell me a portable multimedia device capable of viewing movies, pictures, and music – there better be a damn card slot on it so I can interchange between my cell phone, laptop, digital camera, or whatever! I think for $100 the Nextar is a steal…
Here’s the best prices you can get a Nextar T-30 for now (buy an Xmas gift early!):
