RCA launches Pearl MP3 player line

ah let me say that it looks ugly (looking at it on some site. Just my oppinion though. I'll stick to my sansa e280 =D.

it is ugly, what do you expect for 40 dollars

I like this due to the fact that it will be a great new thing for all students at uni or other educational institutions that can record lectures.

I'm not impressed. There was a time when RCA (Victor) was the top of the line in home entertainment. I remember us having one of their console stereos. It was excellent; would have loved to hook up a CD player to it. Anymore, it seems, they're just like everyone else: they cut a deal with some factory in Red China, slap the RCA name on the goods, and sell it through Wal-Mart.

For $40, however, it probably makes for a good entry level player, or a birthday present for a tweener kid.

Personally: no thanks, I'll stick with the IRiver T10. It does everything this one does, plus Ogg Vorbis playback and a radio tuner.

RCA?
As far as I know RCA is just a name that is owned by GE and licensed for used by anyone. When you buy something with the RCA logo on it's usualy the worst piece of junk.

It's not as ugly as the pictures make it appear, and it has the advantage of being really small. But I am having some trouble with mine, so at this time I can't recommend it to anyone.
