iRiver Clix 4 GB MP3 Player (CXW-4G)
QUICK TAKE:
iriver clix 4 GB MP3 Player (CXW-4G)
The Apple iPod has become synonymous with MP3 player, but it's hardly the only digital media player worth slipping into your pocket. The iriver clix is an attractive, intuitive wonder that packs a big punch into a small package. In a straight clix vs. iPod comparison, iriver's little player holds its own quite nicely.
The iriver clix is almost all screen, leaving literally no room on the face for controls. So how do you operate it? By clicking the face, of course, as the name would suggest.
The tactile response of the iriver clix face feels good and is easy to use in maneuvering through the commands. Also, it's nice to see video functionality in such a moderately priced, flash-based mp3 player. The video features are limited, but it's surprising they're there at all. All in all, the iriver clix is a solid mp3 player that's a great bargain for the money.
