Nomad Muvo2 4GB - An Inside Look
The different models of Muvo2 are only set apart from each other by their storage capacity/storage media. And so as far as we have seen, the rest of the internal workings behind the Muvo2 MP3 players are identical.The top side board is only home to two chips: the Micron MT48LC4M16A2TG-75 SDRAM 64MB and an IC chip beneath the LCD module riser marked "LV4053", which we yet have been able to identify.

The rest of the chips are situated on the bottom and include: the Texas Instruments TMX320 digital signal processor that seems to be related to the TMS320VC5509A series, NEC uPD720122 USB 2.0 controller, and Silicon Storage Technologies' SST39VF400A 4MB Flash chip.

Ok, what's the battery life on this model?Koing - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
Imo the $50 difference between the Muvo2 and the iPod Mini isn't much even on a cash strapped budget. It would be worth saving up for imo. I always do this with stuff.The only problems I see is that the remote on any of the iPods to be quite frank is 'crap'. It is definately no MD remote. And the length of the headphone wires? Rubbish.
How is the length of the Muvo2 headphone wires with remote? I can't stand the length on my iPod.

Odd they never mentioned the fact that this $200 player houses a 4GB microdrive that retails for more than twice that price. I'm happy with my Muvo2, but I imagine eventually the drive will find its way to my camera.yanon - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
The Muvo2 design engineers should consider adding voice recording function to it. This would be great for people who would want to use it as an recording device. it will probably only cost them $10 more to add this feature but they can claim this is a 3-in-one (mp3, voice recording, and data storage) player.
