New iAudio5 Review


Tom's evaluated the iAudio5 player also. Navigation was "quirky" to say the least. For another opinion, it's worth checking out.
The iAUDIO5 has enough features to satisfy most consumers. The FM radio is nice - when you can receive a good signal - and the voice and line-in recording features are great for students and interviewers. Finally, the light weight and long battery life make this player a very good portable choice, if you can get used to the quirky navigation.

Here's what I had to say about the player.
The iAudio 5 is a very stylish music player, with enough features to keep even advanced users satisfied for some time. The colorful display is clearly the standout feature. The use of a common AAA battery for power minimizes down time. The FM tuner means you never run out of new music during long layovers at the airport. The variety of recording modes and options extends the possibilities and usefulness of the device to a variety of applications. The number of supported file formats for playback complements these options. I envision this device for the young executive who likes to exercise with music, and travel without being weighed down with a heavier device. With all these possibilities, I’m sure they’ll find something worth listening to. For the extra dough, you can have something that is far more exclusive and feature rich than just another iPod Shuffle. When your friends see the multiple color display they’ll know why you chose the iAudio 5 and will be envious.
