iPods are great, if you’re prepared to shell out a large sum of cash. Which might seem a bit silly, seeing as all they’re supposed to do is allow you to listen to music, stream radio, watch video clips and view photographs. The Sansui MP4 media player can do all of these things, at a fraction of the price – making it a much easier purchase to justify. It looks great and the slim build with black, glossy finish and metallic silver scroll wheel contrasts beautifully and provides a focal point for navigation through the device. There’s also a matching silver rocker button on the side of the device that grants access to volume control. The 1.8” colour LCD display really pops, and detail is so crisp and clear, it’s easy to forget that it’s smaller than two inches. It’s easy to get going with this device, as well.
