The Test
Our test bed was simply used to transfer files, nothing more and nothing less. Using a lower scaled system should yield similar results, so long as the system is capable of USB 2.0/1.1.| Windows XP Professional Test System | |
| CPU(s) | Pentium 4 3.2C GHz |
| Motherboard(s) | MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R |
| Memory | 2GB Kingston HyperX PC4000 |
| Hard Drive | Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB |
| CDROM | Pioneer DVD(16X)/CD-ROM(40X) |
| Video Card(s) | ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 XT |
| Ethernet | Onboard Intel Gigabit |
| Operating System | Windows XP Professional SP1 |
| Video Drivers | ATI Catalyst 3.8 |
For testing flash media, we used Kingston's six-in-one USB 2.0 high-speed flash card reader/writer.
File Transfer Performance
The Muvo2 performs wondrously, and it puts itself in the same league as some of the external USB 2.0 hard drive out there; fast file transfer, even at 1GB at a time - we have no complaints.

Ok, what's the battery life on this model?Koing - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
Imo the $50 difference between the Muvo2 and the iPod Mini isn't much even on a cash strapped budget. It would be worth saving up for imo. I always do this with stuff.The only problems I see is that the remote on any of the iPods to be quite frank is 'crap'. It is definately no MD remote. And the length of the headphone wires? Rubbish.
How is the length of the Muvo2 headphone wires with remote? I can't stand the length on my iPod.

Odd they never mentioned the fact that this $200 player houses a 4GB microdrive that retails for more than twice that price. I'm happy with my Muvo2, but I imagine eventually the drive will find its way to my camera.yanon - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
The Muvo2 design engineers should consider adding voice recording function to it. This would be great for people who would want to use it as an recording device. it will probably only cost them $10 more to add this feature but they can claim this is a 3-in-one (mp3, voice recording, and data storage) player.
