Iomega Hipzip 31311 40 MB MP3 Player

Pros: storage, efectiveness, durability
Cons: price

This player rocks! i dont even notice the ocasional whir. The batterybattery life is excellent, it lasts me a little over 10hours on a single charge. Due to the 8mb internal buffer this thing will never skip! Each 40mb pocket zip(clik!) disk is about 10...

I have had great experiences with other Iomega products, but would never recommend this particular product. It would repeatedly lock up, and the only way to get it unlocked is to connect it back to a computer via the USB, and this only worked for a while. Now it won't unlock ever, and it's out of warranty. Iomega won't touch it, and neither should anyone else!

Good mp3 player, good sound quality and portability and easily downloads mp3's with USB cable. Can also be used as a portable disk drive. However, the disk media are expensive and must be extracted and inserted into the unit. The rechargeable battery in my unit began to fail within 9 months and it can not be replaced by user. The internal disk drive on this unit also failed within 9 months. could not insert or extract disks.

I bought this product on the strength of the Iomega name, but they BLEW it with this one! I had nothing but trouble with it from the start. The battery would not hold a charge, it cannot be replaced by the user; the unit would seize and could not read disks; the untit would power down in the middle of playing and not come back on; Iomega wants $100 just to look at it...weak support for an even weaker product. Buyer beware - save yourself the trouble and choose another player!
