When you stand in the shoulder of a giant – in that case, the almighty iPod – you have to show some talent of you own to be noticed. Every MP3 player on the market keeps on adding features over features to win over some iPod devotees. The X-Micro Video MP3 400 comes fully loaded: it plays MP3/WMA sound files, videos and slideshows, and also functions as a voice recorder and a FM radio turner.

The device excels in many of these functions, particularly as a MP3 player, voice recorder and FM radio. When it comes to viewing photos and video files, however, its tiny screen proves inadequate to both operations. But it’s still a good portable entertainment solution with some cool solutions like being AA-battery powered.
