mobiBLU DAH-2300 - which one is it?
comment: 7 | Wednesday, September 06 (2006) 02:56PM | Posted by Lone


Those crazy chaps behind Hyon Won's mobiBLU MP3 players went ahead and changed the name of their sleek new US2 (Ultra-Slim 2) to DAH-2300, keeping in rhythm with the previous DAH entries. See the official product page for more.

While that's not a big deal by itself, it becomes semi-interesting when there's another player in the lineup with the same model name. Hiding on some Korean gadget site (BuyKing.com) is something else that happens to be referred to as the DAH-2300, from mobiBLU (pictured below, hanging out with the yarn balls). Oh no!

It's possible the player in the bottom picture was conceived as the "original" 2300, but Hyon Won found it too boring and generic to produce in mass quantities, and instead borrowed the name for the US2 to keep it in the DAH family. It's also possible that the US2, jealous of the DAH-2300's prowess, destroyed it, and assumed the 2300's identity. I suppose we'll never know.

Stop the madness!
The device in the bottom picture plays digital audio, doesn't it? How "boring" could it be? The device in the top picture is a stupid design. People don't forsee themselves tolerating videos on that screen, do they? Color LCDs on flash devices are ridiculous. If you want to watch videos on a handheld device, buy a HDD-based one, so that you'll have enough storage for them and a screen that's worth watching them on. So many people want their devices to be the same as ipods. Color LCD on the ipod Nano was a stupid idea, as shown with the horrendous battery life it has.

LOL the Nano was a pioneer in super flat design... and since most DAPs now play video it would be critized if it didn't like the Cowon T2 by Cnet.
