    CNET Review

    November 8, 2006

    The Good: MobiBlu's stylish and wearable US2 is slim and lightweight; features photo and video playback plus FM/voice recording; OGG and subscription WMA support; two headphone jacks; preloaded PodcastReady software; MTP and MSC USB modes.

    The Bad: The US2 has a couple of interface missteps; non-standard USB; not supported by WMP11; mediocre screen colors; slight noise from left headphone jack; maxes out at 2GB.

    The Bottom Line: MobiBlu's wearable US2 is sleek and feature packed, but the user interface isn't very sophisticated.

    Review Summary:    I like the US2 from MobiBLU.  It's attractive and easy to use.  It's a little weak on the range of file support and capacity, but OGG users will be happy.  It sounds great and it's nearly as slick as an iPod Nano and offer
