M-Cody M20 MP3 Player

I’ll tell you what I know about M-Cody: They’re from one of those countries where they write using a different alphabet to me: France or somewhere.
M-Cody’s M20 has a rather neat trick. It looks like a black square with no buttons on, but then you switch it on and all the controls and the screen magically reveal themselves with a comforting, if slightly eery, glow.
Now I don’t know how you actually go about switching on the M20, what with all the buttons being invisible. It’s possible that you have to say ‘power on’ in your special Jean Luc Picard baritone you use for talking to technological devices. It’s more probable that you don’t do that however.
The M20’s far too small at just 8cm in length, but at least it’s just a dull, flat square shape, which is pretty much optimum - matching, as it does, that design classic: ‘the pocket’.
The battery’s life’s just 11 hours. Considering there’s no video-watching or anything else fancy with this, that’s very poor. Poorer than me even. And that’s mighty poor.
