When everyone wakes up this will be gone. Wow, if I din't already have an MP3 player I would defnitely pick one up.

 

[kerokeroppi82]

Just ordered 2 for $116 shipped after tax, one for me and one for my gf. They seem to have added some more to the website, 108 in stock right now...

I just got 2 for that price too. I'll probably sell the other to a friend or something. Hehe, and pay for the one for me. =)

 

[WoundedWallet]

too good to be true?

did a search on google and got this review in german
http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/plain/~bueckner/microboss/

don't know german either so I used altavista translation
http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn

so, if you can use the flash for other devices then this is a good deal.

If you're buying for the player... it may not be worth $50+tax+shipping.

There is no LCD screen to help navigation. I passed it.

 

[Spackle]

checked www.microboss.de for specs -- this one seems to be
discontinued. i'd jump on it if i knew it had some sort of lcd,
can't really tell from the pictures. couldn't find any english
comments on google. anyone know anything about it?

[erm, nebbermind, thx WW]

 

[udonoogen]

got two. one for my housemate and one for me. should work well in those s200s that are coming in. they're down to 85 left now ... going fast ...

 

[PrinceVegita]

Well the memory is cheap (I think newegg has 128 for 42 dollars), but you get a jumpshot cable ($20) and an mp3 player (~$50) So I think this is a great deal.
50 + 50 + 20 = ~$120 all for $50.

I found a German review of this unit and used Babel Fish to translate. It's still nearly impossible to get all the "good stuff" out of the translation because some of the words just don't translate over.

Linky

From what I could get from it, the review says there are better players out there, but it's not bad.

He/She mentions 3.5hrs of playtime with (2) AAA, a red LED screen on top (I think it only shows the filename [8.3 format] and track number, not MP3 tags or anything), audio " .. sounds as good, as MP3s can sound ...", and it seems to cut off 1/2 a second from the start of each track.

 

[PrinceVegita]

Oh and since buy.com doesn't have very good descriptions here's what a jumpshot cable is: Here

 

[kerokeroppi82]

wow, and I thought a jumpshot cable was just a cable connecting the mp3 player to the computer. That just makes the deal all the more worth it.

 

[Undream]

sold out -- I clicked on the link, saw 49 remaining, couldnt decide whether to buy for about 2 minutes, hit refresh, and it said sold out :\

 

[reggie3]

It's sold out now.

 

[cLiPLiK]

got in on this deal too. its true that they are going fast. the jumpshot cable is basically like a reader for cf's only right?
which means i should return that sandisk imagemate reader i got for my s200....

 

[vacat]

out of stock at 7 est

[robsdeals]

Currently Sold out, but check back later, somehow it happens alot at Buy.com that they come back in stock the same day.

 

[daMachine]

That was fast, OOS in 30 minutes. Let's keep and eye on eBay for these.

Had two in my basket and was starting my order (couldn't remember my password) and then poof, all gone.

 

[udonoogen]

friggin eh. the order is not showing up on my order history...

 

[PrinceVegita]

Hey neither are mine. And I ordered when this thread first started. I also had to change my address after I ordered. Hope they use the new one I put cause I just deleted the old one.

 

[udonoogen]

Please note: new orders will show up within 5 minutes of placing order!

they lie. =) its been almost half an hour. i give up. im going to go back to studying for my final ...

 

[mastermind278]

<< wow, and I thought a jumpshot cable was just a cable connecting the mp3 player to the computer. That just makes the deal all the more worth it. >>



Jumpshot cable is just a cable with no USB device built in. It will only work with USB enabled CF card. Lexar are the one who introduced USB enabled CF card. This will not work with all CF card so you will still need your reader for those card that are not USB enabled. Hope this helps.
