“World’s thinnest MP4 player” is 4.5mm thick
by Devin Coldewey on August 30, 2008


At some point we are going to run into the issue of media players just cutting their way out of our pockets. You’ll have to buff the edges so you don’t slice your fingers off while changing tracks. I guess we’re not quite at that point, but 4.5mm is pretty damn thin. This thing doesn’t have much branding, and I’m not sure I can count on a place called “Component Warehouse” for support if my player snaps in half during shipment, but it’s all worth it to take off that last 2mm.

  • surely mp3 players cannot get any smaller unless they become an implant!

    Hello

    I am from Component Warehouse, and can happily say that we have a 1 year warranty which would be honoured if the said damages were to occur.

    Chinavasion’s price may look good initially, however you will have to pay around £20 for DHL (or other courier) to ship your item to the UK, and any taxes (could be anything up to £8) making their price comparable to ours. The delivery time from China is about 2 weeks. If you order from us however, we will ship your item in 24 hours (stock dependant) and it would be sent via Royal Mail with no taxes when it reaches you.

    And if, the MP4 player did break in half during shipment, it would take approximately 4 weeks to replace it from Chinavasion (1 week into China, 3 weeks out). We would send a replacement item with 24 hours of receiving the faulty one (stock dependant).

    Thanks
    Alex

  • How important is thinness, really? It’s relatively not a big deal related to length and width, and other major issues such as weight and overheating. Seeing a “thin” gadget doesn’t make me any more interested in it.
