BenQ Joybee 120 (128MB)

 

This player's compact design looks great, but it hampers features and performance to a certain extent.

Extremely compact design; affordable; several handy accessories

Limited display; cumbersome navigation; low maximum volume; must alter volume in a menu

Bargain hunters will find positive and negative aspects to this player's compact design.
