Klegg Mini

Klegg Mini

review

By Mike Kobrin

Editor's Note: Since we published this review, the price of the Klegg Mini dropped to $129.99.

The Klegg Mini ($159.99 direct) is a flash-based MP3 player that, its manufacturer claims, is the world's smallest with a color screen. (Actually, as far as we know, the MPIO One gets that distinction.) It's available in 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB versions, as well as in three colors (blue, white, and pink). Its cheap-feeling construction and totally unpolished, quirky interface didn't exactly wow us, but the good sound quality and excellent battery life did. Despite TV endorsements by Paula Abdul and Verne Troyer (Mini Me of Austin Powers fame), however, the appallingly high price ($159.99 direct for 512MB) makes us wonder what we're missing.

Small and light. Powerful output. Excellent battery life.

Cons

Poor screen. Awful interface. Photos require conversion. No DRM support. No ID3 tag or directory-based file browsing.
