Navigating around the user interface is fairly intuitive – there’s a main menu, pictured below, then a screen for each of the applications. The iAudio is so small, that there’s no room for a standard stylus – you’re supplied with probably the smallest pointer we’ve ever seen… a little like a guitar plectrum, and almost bound to get lost, despite the bit of string you can tie to your keyring, or the iAudio itself. The iAudio D2 has a handy Lock slide switch on top, which you can slide to prevent accidental presses of the touchscreen when the player’s in your pocket. It’s now always quite as responsive as we’d expect, but that doesn’t hinder use. No other navigation is as easy to use or gives you more flexibility. It’s not something you’re used to finding on such a small device, and to be honest, you really do need a touchscreen these days. The big seller on this small device, is the touch screen. We also reviewed the iAudio D2 16 Gig version in our October 2008 show – Listen online to Show 31. We reviewed this player for Frequenc圜ast, this site’s regular online radio show – Take a listen to Show 19 as a podcast. It remains one of the best handheld DAB radios we’ve used. We’re still impressed by the features and size of this device. We looked at the 4 gig version of this back in 2007, and have since got our hands on the 16gig version. Slightly bigger than a matchbox, but smaller than a cassette tape, this is a comfy hold, and it’s packed with a stack of features not even found on the iPods and Creatives of this world. Connectivity: 3.5mm headphone, USB, TV-out cable (for connecting to a telly)įirst off… this is one tiny little device.Power: Built-in rechargeable (52 hours MP3 playback on one charge).Formats: MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, FLAC, APE, JPG.Display: 16 million colours, QVGA (320×240) touchscreen.Radio: Built-in FM and DAB radio receivers, capable of recording.Features: Supports music, videos, photos, texts, games or flash animations.This little media player has the following impressive specs: As well as playing music in a number of different formats, it also does the following:Īmazingly, it also has a crystal clear QVGA touch screen. It accepts SD and MMC cards for expansion. Well, it’s an MP3 player with either 4, 8 or 16 gig of onboard memory. Don’t be fooled by it’s titchiness, this is a powerful micro media machine. The iAudio D2 is the latest little device to drop onto our desk for review, and we love it. It’s getting harder to call an MP3 player an MP3 player these days – considering they now do so much more than play a handful of MP3 files.
