EnzoTen of Anything But iPod has brought us an interesting review of his MobiBLU DHH-200. He gave a positive review on this Microdirve based MP3 player, except some dissapointments on user interface, iJoy Wheel navigation and audio in video playback.
I really love the size of the DHH-200. It is a great size for an 8GB MP3 player, making it small enough to fit in your pocket but big enough to comfortably use it. This player will appeal to those who love features, as this MobiBLU has plenty. This player also does very well at recording and encoding. Overall it is a decent player and should be considerd if you are looking for a Microdirve based MP3 player.

However, what I’m more interested is that EnzoTen has opened his new DHH-200 and shown us the components inside!
