One of my favorite sites to check for gadgets I4U, has done a nice review of a small, 47 gram MP3 player, that not only has a great sound, but can run 26 hours on a single AA battery.
| Highlights from the Review:
"The MP-300 has a built-in FM Transmitter as one of its many features. Other impressive characteristics include 26 hour play time on single AA battery and 12mW output on the headset and of course the look.
When I received the JoS MP-300 it is immediately clear to me this is a special Gadget, when it was coming packaged in a metal cylinder and not in a carton box like any other Gadget.
If we would have a point ranking at I4U, it would get a 10."

According to I4U, Jens of Sweden intends to offer the player in North America soon. The MP-300 is the follow-up to the very popular MP-110, which sold over 50,000 units in Scandinavia alone, and has been rated best flash-player by CNET. The MP-300 sells for $ 219.99.
