Verdict

Overall: A bit slow to copy music onto, but fantastic battery life and an individual style.

The Q-Be is purportedly the smallest mp3 player in the world at 24mm in all directions. One side is devoted to a dazzling Oled (organic light emitting diode) screen.

With no requirement for a backlight, the Q-Be battery can last up to 17 hours.

A graphic equaliser is included and we found the sound quality to be excellent. Mp3 and wma files are supported (though not those with licences), and you can buy the Q-Be in 512MB and 1GB guises.

Unfortunately, copying files to the Q-Be is rather slow – an entire album can take approximately four minutes to transfer.

The Q-Be is around £20 more expensive than Apple’s 1GB Shuffle, but we love its miniature and stylish design, and it will definitely set you apart from the Ipod masses.
