Coby MP837
$102.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Similar to an iPod touch without the higher cost. Coby media manager - the included media transfer software is straightforward and easy to use. Good battery life.
The Cons:Poorly documented - the included manual lacks specifics and feature details. Slow - paging through music files can be a laggy experience. Inconsistent touch controls - album art mode doesn't feel natural when browsing through your music.

The MP837 can play a variety of formats, including music (the OGG container is used to store music files), videos (in Flash, XviD, and H.264 formats), photos and text. There is integrated support for FM radio, ID3 and LRC, which means that song and lyric information is availble to be displayed. Expert reviewers have said that the MP837 is quite an improvement over Coby's previous portable media offering, the MP836. There is an 8GB version for $101.99, and a 16GB version for $127.99.
