The MP4, In The 1990’s And Today

If you are of my generation you’ll remember the inception of that ground breaking gadget ‘The Walkman’. Yes, the original bulky, heavy and battery-draining cassette walkman! You were lucky to get one side of a tape out of a set of 4 AA batteries. Then the reels would run at different speeds, making the music sound distorted and usually chewing your expensive Denon chrome cassettes. Yes even cassettes had elite brands and pricey options.

Back in those days the only time you heard about the MP4 was when someone was talking about the McLaren Porsche/Honda powered Formula One cars driven with great success by Alain Prost and the late great Ayrton Senna.

Today there is an awesome array of gadgetry to temp the consumer, including the present gaggle of MP4 makes and models. While they would be considered run of the mill now it would take a science fiction writer from the 1990’s to imagine that such devices would someday exist.

Chinavasion has a comprehensive range of MP4 players with styles, capacities and applications to please almost anyone.

It would be hard to find a MP4 player with a higher potential capacity than the model above. Its IDE 2.5 inch enclosure will accommodate an impressive 120GB of possible memory and comes with 40GB hard disk already included.
