Worst Product Name. Ever. - chris - 08-26-2007

It's hard to believe but this looks like a legitimate piece of hardware. Wow.

The direct link is a bit wonky, but Engadget reviewed it as well: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/trekstor-showcases-i-beat-blaxx-portable-media-player/">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/trek ... ia-player/</a>

Trekstor have been making media players that are far superior to most anything else on the market these days. I reviewed the "Vibez" a short while ago for a magazine, and I was able to keep it afterwards. It isn't my main player as that is my Creative Zen Vision, but I use this one exclusively for live music and anything else where the obligatory MP3 gap is intolerable. The EQ and sound quality are phenomenal.

Granted, the names of the products are somewhat iffy, but I would suspect it's because the company is German.

The gear looks pretty cool, but come on, the "iBeat.Blaxx" for a product name??? It's sounds like an SNL parody commercial product.
