Transcend Release 8GB Capacity T.Sonic 650 MP3 Player with Integrated FM Tuner

If, for whatever reason, Apple’s new 2GB Shuffle doesn’t quite do it for you and Sony’s newly announced E020 Walkman and NWZ-A820 Walkman models don’t quite cut the mustard as far as you’re concerned but you’re in the market for a solid state MP3 player that’s preferably devoid of any style whatsoever perhaps Transcend’s T.Sonic 650 MP3 Player, which has just become available with an increased 8GB of capacity may be of interest.
Admittedly the T.Sonic 650 is a fairly rudimentary device with somewhat uninspiring aesthetics but, if you can live with owning a digital audio player that can best be described as ‘merely functional’ then it could be worth the briefest of ganders (then again…).
Transcend 8GB T.Sonic 650 MP3 Player Features:
- MP3 Player that supports MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM10 (subscription music) and WAV formats
- FM Radio (FM Radio recording and the ability to preset 20 FM radio stations)

Currently the new 8GB T.Sonic 650 is only available in white (with the black version offering lesser capacities) and will set you back around $114 (which strikes us as being hopelessly overpriced considering what you’re getting – but perhaps that’s just us).
