iBall Rave

The Rave MP3 player seems to have some amazing features such as expandable memory using SD/MMC support, multi-bitrate voice recording, an FM radio and an e-mail function that enables you to “read and receive email anywhere with advanced email software” – at least that’s what it says on the box. Rave is a repackaged Pocki Eyeshot MP3 by Tai-hao enterprises, Taiwan. The player comes packaged with a nice set of headphones, a rechargeable battery, a USB extension cable, a utility CD, and manual. The device has a very “plasticky” feel overall, except in places where it’s covered by rubber. The buttons feel tacky and are really hard to use while navigating. The voice recording facility and the FM radio are a nice addition. The Pocki like the iRiver N10 has a single colour screen and is priced Rs 6,625.
