The iubi Blue 2500

There's a new player on the field and it's not looking to hot. Iubi is a new name to most but they have come out with a cheap high performance PVP. The iubi Blue 2500 has a 4.3" screen with a resolution of 480x272. The player is a 30GB internal hard drive and supports just about every video format possible.

While at first it sounds like a great player, you might want to take a closer look. Iubi's goal was to create a powerfull player at a cheap price so they cut a lot of corners to do so.


To start it's rather large for a portable player Measuring 80 x 131 x 19mm and weighing 260 grams. Also it isn't exactly attractive. covered in swathes of anonymous black plastic this is not a quality housing like those found on an Archos player, plus it attracts finger prints like a crime scene. Handling the player on a daily basis makes you worry about the build quality and longevity.
