Recommending an MP3

Well actually it's an MP4 player but I could never figure out the video for it. I'm not posting links to but it because I'm sure you're all smart enough to use Google. (It's a Coby MP620 by the way, I wrote the post then remembered I forgot to tell you it's name.)
I'm a bit of a technophobe so when I bought this it was a big jump for me. The last technological purchase I made was a pair of earphones and I walked up to the first 15 year old kid I could see to ask him which ones I should buy. Fortunately I didn't look like a pervert because I was 17 I did however look like a social outcast who lives in the 20th century.
I'll remind you this is a blog not a review site so you won't be getting too much information out of me. It's 8GB which is massive and I reckon is around 250 bazillion filing cabinets but I've been wrong before. To buy it in the UK costs £40 to buy it in USA £20 but because the British government awesome at being greedy they manage to make it cost £40 when you have it shipped over from America. 

The clicking button thing is a bit annoying and I prefer the silent sliding bit on an iPod. The sound quality is great and the space is awesome and you can even store pictures but if I'm honest I miss my walkman. When you strolled around with a cassette player you just felt cooler than everyone else and I don't get that feeling with these new MP3 players because everyone from the age of 10 upwards has one. 

So you can buy it if you want or not, it makes no difference to me. I'm just happy you decided to read my mindless babble about a piece of technology and make it this far. So thank you.

  6. Walkman had a totally different feeling, I agree with you.
    The bad thing is that the tape could sometimes mess up and break...
