MobiBLU Cubisto 2GB MP3 Player
Is it a sphere? Is it a cube? No, it’s a sphube.
That joke was rubbish the first time we did it and it actually made sense then. This time the answer is actually ‘no, it’s a Cubisto’, so we’ve not even told the truth.
Why the hell is it called a Cubisto anyway? I get the ‘cube’ part, but why the Italian/Spanish flavour. Perhaps their hinting at the romance languages is meant to indicate that this is a suave, desirable product. Whatever the name, it’s still square. Square’s not suave.
Square and tiny, to be precise. Easy-to-lose small, which is next on my list of MP3 player things to get annoyed about. Also on that list (headed by badly positioned upper and lower case letters) is battery life. The MobiBLU Cubisto ‘boasts’ a battery life of 10 hours. Mayflies would feel they’d got a raw deal with 10 hours.
