Ministry of Sound - MOSMP083X10

The what? Well Ministry of Sound have launched a teeny-weeny 1GB MP3 Player, catchely called the MOSMPO83X10 - come on dudes, couldn't you have come up with a more memerable name? Picture yourself walking to an electronics store and trying to tell the customer service guy what you want. Hopefully they'll know their stuff and take you straight to this device.

I could have done with it the other day at a conference as its tiny and got a voice recorder. It also supports MP3's, WMAs and DRM content.

The battery life is dissapointing with only 8 hours of playback. And the display will not be inspiring anyone with a single-colour display, and has basic functionality with random and repeat.

You can get it from Argos for £89.99.
