aw...sad cuz they don't have a white one? :laugh:


har har. but it really does lose its appeal if you think about actually using it.

i guess you can get it as a gimmic toy and leave it on a shelf with these gimmicky overpriced cube speakers http://www.mission-cube.com/
I'd find it more usable than certain competition that has no screen. And guess what? The circle of controls on the cube are...GASP! the same size as the unnamed player (so you can't say it's so small it's unusable)! Now how exactly could it be less usable...hmm...can't wait to hear the excuses.

Check the reviews in my HD Thread. Since the guy in the first review tested it with a Stax Omega II and Sony Qualia 010 and only came up with complaints that the track transition was a bit long, oh...I'd say it's pretty good SQ.

no, still think about it, hold and funble is pretty much how it'll go. holding a little cube in one hand trying to poke it with your thumb is awkward

Ah, exactly as I was expecting...guess those of us who don't have iPods don't have those darn opposable thumbs yet that are all the rage with the supremely evolved Apple fanboys. Gotcha.

It has "built-in, rechargeable Lithium-Polymer" batteries. The Walmart version is rated at 10 hours, but the Korean version is reated at 17 hours, I think. However, the Korean version only gets 10 in real life, so either the Walmart version is using a more realistic number, or it has a smaller battery that only goes for about 6-7 hours. Battery life is no problem for me because I never use it more than 2 hours at a time. One of my old players had a 4 hour battery life and I only completely ran out of juice once.

It seems like they come back in stock daily and sell out at the end of the day. If you want one, just check back frequently.

Get each and every color of them, string them in a necklace, and parade around ATOT for all of us to see! :p

Id get blue personally.

I ended getting the black one, I was trying to decide between that and the blue. The black seems more sleek and my friends told me that black was probably better too.

Does anyone have pics of their own blue Mobiblu Cube? I'm probably about to buy one, thinking Black or Blue, but in the walmart.com pics the blue looks like a pretty light tint... but it could just be reflection or something. In one review I saw it looked more like dark blue which is what I want.
