Three separate players, yet each
similar 'under the hood'. The Cali (shown in above title: bottom
right) is aimed at the sport market (chunky rubber package), is
available in two varieties: 256MB (green) and 128MB (yellow). The
Cali also has a built in FM radio.
The Chiba (above left most player)
is like the Cali available with 128MB (in which case it is grey),
or 256MB for an all black model, again with an FM radio tuner. The
Chiba is quite small and can easily fit in the palm of your hand
(measuring just 2.7” x 2.4” x 0.8”).
Finally the Fuse (elongated player
above), fitted out with 128MB, because of its miniature size (3.5”
x 1.5” x 0.7”) the Fuse has no FM tuner and memory cannot be
expanded. The end pulls off allowing the fuse to be plugged
straight into a USB socket (no more loosing cables).
Each of these players can play Mp3
and WMA, they last about 18 hours on a new AAA battery. The Cali
and Chiba can be expanded by Secure Digital (SD) cards.
