MobiBLU Boxon Digital Multimedia Player

by

boxon.jpgMobiBLU really seem keen on adding meaningless suffixes to ordinary words when naming their products. Following on from the Cubisto, we now have ‘Boxon’.

The Boxon comes in either 1GB or 2GB size. The battery life is a laughable 12 hours for audio and a beyond laughable four hours for video. It’s less than 5cm in size, which is really, really, staggeringly stupid and pointless. Do you know how big 5cm is? Why bother?

However, in their defence, MobiBLU’s website advertises the Boxon with the following phrase: “Available in TWO colors!” - which is either the first recorded use of irony in the entire technological industry, or the most pathetic attempt to dress up a negative as a positive I’ve ever seen. Either way, it’s a slap in the face for the ’show your individuality with our product’ lobby.

The two colours are black and white, by the way.
