These days I’ve been coming across more and more DAPs (Digital Audio Players) that seem to be designed either for the younger generation, and by that I don’t just mean teenagers but preteens as well. And why not, I ask? They have a right to music as much as we do, so here’s one more to add to that list (which I’ll make it a point to let you in on later, honest) – iRiver’s MPlayer, which comes with an honest-to-goodness, totally American-styled design of none other than cartoon kingdom's most famous pair of ears: Mickey Mouse's.
Form Factor
Not much I can say about the design that I haven’t already, except that it looks like the back of Mickey Mouse’s head from any angle, and personally I’m a fan from waaay back, so I like it! It has plenty of what you might call the cuteness factor, so ideally it would be gadget designed for kids – or, let’s face it, girls. It has a mini USB port on the bottom and the strap loop and 3.5mm earphone socket on the top right between the ears.
The ears themselves serve a purpose as well. The left ear can be used to adjust the volume by twisting it to the right or left. Just make sure you don’t try to twist it all the way around. It has a spring mechanism so it moves only a few millimeters in either direction. The right ear, when used in the same way will allow you to switch tracks in either direction. On the side is where you’ll find a soft power button, and for some strange reason on the other side is a LED indicator – red for charging or battery drained; and green for, well, go.
