Smart, sleek and a good performer, that’s how the LG T80 MP3 player can be defined. It is an awesome music machine, which is not only very portable, but also potent enough to deliver rich sound quality and stunning graphics. Looks wise it is more attractive and appealing than its predecessors. If you are seriously hunting for a good portable media player (PMP) then you need to take a closer look at this one.

The LG T80 has got a glossy finish. Its front panel mainly consists of a large 3 inch 260k colour touchscreen that can work at a resolution of 420×240 pixels. Few small and sleek buttons are also positioned below the screen that provides basic functions. The rest of the operations can be handled via tapping the TFT touchscreen.

The special feature of this PMP is its DVB-T function that enables the user to watch television on it. However, for this there must be a TV signal nearby.

iRiver’s Lplayer comes closely following the disappointing performance of the E100. Released this year in the UK market, this device is designed well and small in size.

The moment you look at the MP3 player, the first thought that comes to your mind is how is it possible without controls? The dimensions of the iRiver L-Player 8GB are just 60×43x13mm. The tiny screen measures just two inches and 320×240 pixels. In fact, there is hardly any space left when you subtract the size of the screen.

Now, we come to the interesting part. Controls can be accessed by pushing down one of the four screen edges. The screen is in fact, skillfully mounted on top of the pressure pad which is four-way. Even the weight of the device competes with some of the lightest models in the market.

Conventional on/off switch can be found at the bottom of the device. Volume control is interestingly featured as a key lock slider at the back. The iRiver Lplayer 8GB MP3 player is ideal for everyday use. In order to protect the player from accidental activation due to bumps and knocks, the command buttons have to be given a hard push for the arrow flash accepting the command to appear on the screen.

You can actually zip around song lists and menus effortlessly once you become adept at the controls. This player supports various formats, as with all iRiver devices including WMA, MP3, ASF, Ogg, Flac, etc for audio and WMV, MPEG4 and Xvid for video.

Overall, this is undoubtedly one of the most interesting MP3 players currently on the market.
