With the Iphone and phones that are built along with music player functions, has the glory of MP3 players been set to dull? I don’t really think so.

Although handphone makers are striving to make the ultimate handphone in the world, having almost everything in a handphone tends to jam the handphone.

I’m using a Sony Ericsson Walkman handphone. It has a 3MG pixel camera, music player and a built in Google Map GPS. It is great handphone when it was still brand new. However after a few years of using it and especially adding too many songs and pictures, my phone keep facing the stroke problem. It loves to play paralyze mode on me and it frustrates me.

Sure that it is nice having a speaker music phone especially when you cannot have a stereo around and would like to share the music with your friends. In fact, that was the reason why I had that phone in the first place, well apart from the camera functions.

But I realise that the replacement is still not as great as the real thing, mainly the MP3 players themselves. I could store as many songs as the memory allows me and set the player to any function I want without having to worry about it having a stroke.

No doubt, I would need to bring an extra peripheral and appliance but it really saves me the trouble to getting my handphone jammed up on me and destroying it in the moment of frustration. Furthermore, MP3 players are now much slimmer, lighter and suave!
