Expert review by : Randolph Ramsay (cnet.com.au)

Toshiba gigabeat flash (512MB)

 

Not content to stay in the hard drive MP3 player space, Toshiba has introduced some flash-based players into its product mix.

Packed with features. Colour screen that can display photos. Decent sound.

Ugly headphones and lanyard. Built-in microphone not terribly sensitive.

With more features and a friendlier user experience than other gigabeats, the gigabeat flash is an attractive MP3 player option from Toshiba.

Toshiba gigabeat flash (512MB)

 

My player doesnt seem to connect to the computer (not recognising it) after exactly one year and one day. This strikes me as kinda sucky, since in all other ways it is a great little device. The Image viewer is pretty dodgy, but its a pretty tiny...

Cool menu system, tho it lacks the ability to delete from the unit itself ( I always had to get into PC to do that)

Obviously, there is something iffy about the unit after a year has expired

Toshiba gigabeat flash (512MB)

 

When it works it is not a bad player. Easy to use and get around. But...

Easy to get around ; Small enough to manage but not so small as to get lost

Changing characteristics and the lack of ability to be recognised by computers ; Fast forwarding feature ; Short battery life
