This Ziclay SlideKey MP3 player makes a refreshing change from the norm with its unusual slidey-key design. The controls can be concealed by the movable casing when not in use keeping this nice and compact, and there's a few extra features like voice recorder and USB data storage (not really extra features, more standard features, but I'll take what I can get). The
Slidekey comes in 256MB, 512MB and 1GB models, with the option of
adding a built-in fm tuner to the larger models. It's pretty cheap, with
prices starting at just under £45.
