Computer Supermarket is making some huge claims for a slim, 4GB music and video player. The company says that its MP4 Player has "a similar look and feel to an iPod nano" yet sells for £49 [plus £5.49 for delivery], rather than £129 [with free delivery], and "matches the Nano on attributes" but with the added bonus of a 50-preset FM radio with recording functionality.
According to the company - which doesn't actually list what types of audio or video the product can handle - other key features include:
* 1.8 inch LCD screen
* Ultra slim case - just 5mm thick (versus nano at 7.5mm)
* Stores up to 1000 tracks
* Rechargeable lithium ion battery, chargeable by PC or wall adapter included
* Connecting cables and headphones included
* Dictaphone-type functionality
* Photo-album feature
* Audio book allows downloading and playing of spoken books and TV/radio shows
* Available in Black, Blue, Red and Silver
