Toshiba has had a lot of success with their popular S-series MP3 players in the past year, but they are finally releasing a smaller version of it to the United States. This new player is called the Toshiba Gigabeat T400 media player. Read on for an in-depth review and possible recommendation of this product.
This new player is similar in a lot of ways to the S-series player, but it comes in a much smaller body style. It will play videos, display photos, and play music. The T400 only comes equipped with 4 GB of flash memory, which is relatively low for a video player. One drawback of this player is the fact that the memory is not expandable, so you are stuck with only 4 GB.
