Almost everybody has an MP3 player these days, and I could say that a considerable percentage of those people have iPods. I have never been a fan of MP3 players. I’m not really against them; it’s just the fact of owning one. I’m not an outgoing person. I go out but I’m not usually in places where I would find myself thinking, it would be great if I have a portable player with me right now. My car doesn’t have a CD player. The FM tuner tuned in one (rock!) station is good enough for me. I do have my fair collection of CD’s and MP3’s. Quite few actually, since I’m really picky as to the songs I want to keep on my collection.
So why do I have an MP3 player now? I’ve been going to the gym lately and the in-house music is usually playing pop or hip-hop. At first I wanted to get a cheapo radio just to get by. But YucA from the forums directed me to a site showing the mobiBLU DAH-1500i. It’s a very small MP3 player in a cube casing. It measures about an inch on all sides, making it really small compared to players during that time. I like very small things, especially if they are functional. I’ve always been fascinated with miniatures that work how they should. I saw a small vice grip before, probably about 4 inches long and I wanted one just because it was smaller than usual. Anyway, the DAH-1500i, despite its size, can hold a max of 1GB. By then I thought this would be the MP3 player I would finally get myself.

MobiBlu is one of a multitude of lesser-known portable audio companies trying to make a name for itself among giants such as Apple, Creative, and iRiver. While most of the MP3 players that we’ve seen from MobiBlu have been decent, they’re not standouts, so the company has thus far skirted the spotlight. However, it appears that the MobiBlu DAH-1500i is poised to change this status. The ultratiny, cube-shaped device is a tech marvel and has certainly turned some heads among industry journalists, including those here at CNET. And despite its unimpressive battery life, the DAH-1500i largely lives up to the hype.
If nothing else, the MobiBlu DAH-1500i is versatile. The cute MP3 player is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems (plug and play–no driver install is needed for operating systems released after 1998), and you have a choice of six colors: black, pink, silver, blue, red, and orange. And at $129.99 for the 1GB version and $99.99 for the 512MB version, it’s quite a bargain.

The Mobiblu DAH-1500 first took the gadget world by storm when photos appeared comparing it to the supposedly super-miniature iAudio U2. Three of the cubes were piled up to equal the height of the U2. It was an amazing sight for all of us DAP-geeks. Never before had we seen such a tiny player. Couple that with its high-quality looking finish and smart-looking LCD, and Mobiblu seemingly had a mega-hit on its hands.
This 24mm cube player took a while to get to the United States. It had already been imported by a few who complained of slow transfer speeds and lack of Wma DRM support. Well, Mobiblu decided that Americans deserved better and released the DAH-1500i which added USB 2.0 and Wma DRM support. The DAH-1500i has now made it into the mass-market store that is Walmart. It’s too early to tell if the player is a hit or not, but if Walmart and Mobiblu play their cards right, they could be raking in the dough.
