Introduction
It seems like no time ago at all that the mp3 player was strictly
considered a 'geek toy'. Sure, a lot of the population had heard
the term 'mp3' before, and knew vaguely what it meant, but tended to
associate it with the twin evils of music piracy and Napster in its
prime.
How times have changed - This Christmas, one of the must have
gifts will be Apple's iPod, and the mp3 player has found its way into
the collective conscience in the same way that digital cameras and DVD
players have. Of course, the market for such players isn't all
about Apple - They may be the 'must-have' name for 2004, but there are a
whole host of other companies, big and small, vying to take a slice of
this exciting new market and differentiate themselves from the market
leader, be that by way of price or features. The contender we will
be looking at here fights Apple's offering on both counts - Enter Aigo's
MP-P750 - A sleek, 20Gb, hard disk based mp3 player, looking to catch
the eye of anyone on the look out for such a device. How does it
turn out? Let's take a peek.
