    MPIO FG100

    Frazier Barretto, Nov 22, 2006 1630 hrs IST

    There seems to be a mushroom growth of MP3 players. Let's have a look at another one from MPIO, a sports DAP.

    Good sound quality, Great battery life, Good build, 3D Sound, Good voice recorder.

    Expensive, Just 256 MB, Bulky, Small screen, Poor navigation, Bad jog-dial.

Build & Design

The MPIO FG100 is designed like a mini version of the really old stereo players. It is bulky and its dimensions will make sure it does feel that way; 31(W) x 82(H) x 28.5(D)/mm. The player, being bulky, feels good to hold as in there isn't much of a chance that it will slip from your hands. The player is light when considered without a battery else it weighs around 50grams. The body of the player is built to withstand quite a bit and when held with a firm grip doesn't give out any creaky noises. There is an OLED screen with a display of 4 lines.


The player has a Play/Stop button on the left of the screen and on the right a joystick with 5 functions and a volume jog-dial around the joystick. It has two extra buttons on the top and the standard mini-USB in the center of the two. The left is the Rec hotkey and a hold switch while on the right of the USB port is the Function button. The Function button helps switch between the FM Tuner and the MP3 playback function of the player.


The rear of the player houses a AA battery and on the left side of the player is the Line-In and stereo port to connect your earphones. The Play/Stop button also doubles as a Power ON/OFF and has a red color ring, which keeps bleeping whenever the player is in use.

Better buy a fake MP4 player in around 1000 bucks with video support as well. i know that may be risky since they are chinese made, but if u can take that risk, u'll get more than you will pay for. i bough mine .......512 MB but in actual its only 233 MB (thats why these are faked MP3/MP4 players) but.......i have now an MP3 palyer, a video (MP4, AVI, WMA, divX) Player, a FM radio, A picture viewer, A sound Recorder ...All in a single player. .........Not Bad in 1000 Bucks.......and i bet it sounds better than my IPOD shuffle when i use my SonyEricsson W7001 Earphones. Try it if you could find one for you.

How do they (Techtree) survive without ads. However, the viewer should have the option of closing the banner ads. Cheers
