Specs:
Portable network audio player / digital player / radio, 8 GB, AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA, Protected WMA (DRM), Lithium polymer Rechargeable Player batteryInternal
The Good:
The Ibiza Rhapsody offers about every feature in the book, including Wi-Fi; podcast support with wireless updating; photo, video, and subscription music support; on-the-go access to Rhapsody; updatable themes and wallpaper; even a basic Web browser. It also comes in a variety of colors and is easy to use; the interface is well-implemented; and the processor is powerful.
The Bad:
The Ibiza Rhapsody is expensive compared with competitors, and it has copycat looks. It's large for a flash player, has a poor battery life, and it only works with Windows XP and Vista. Doesn't include A2DP Bluetooth integration.
The Bottom Line:
Haier America's flash-based Ibiza Rhapsody is pricier and larger than the competition, but its straightforward interface, excellent wireless integration, speedy processor, and plethora of features should appeal to those looking for a player that does it all.
