When it was released last year, the iPaq Personal Audio Player helped set the standard for small form factors in digital audio players. Weighing in at a svelte 3 ounces, the iPaq Personal Audio Player is the size of a pager. Its small size makes it a great addition to your workout routine, despite lacking an FM tuner. Too bad the package doesn't include a belt clip for days when you're wearing those pocket-less sweats. The unit ships with two 32MB cards, each about the size of a postage stamp.
Sound quality is also relatively good.
Like many portable players, the iPaq Personal Audio Player includes a pair of earbud-style headphones, which are not the best option for most users since they can be uncomfortable or slip out of your ear easily. If you're looking to hit the road today with a compact, lightweight workout companion, the iPaq Personal Audio Player deserves consideration despite its shortcomings. But for a little extra bulk, you can get a player that delivers better performance and features.
