[Electronics-talk] Wow! $10 MP3 Player Really Is Accessible

[Sandra Merrell]

Hi Gerald,
I got my colby mp3 player, and I have a few questions, 1. How to you take 
the back off to put the battery in? and 2. is there a cover over the part 
where you would plug it into the pc of use the usb cable if I wanted to? 
Thanks.  My email address is at the bottom of my email.  Thanks in advance. 
I'm anxious to load it and use it.

Sandra

>>> I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from J&R, and it is truly

>>> deal ever.  It is still available from J&R for $10 with free shipping, 
>>> but they probably won't last much longer at that price.  They make 
>>> wonderful stocking stuffers.  The hardest part of using this gizmo is 
>>> getting it out of the plastic blister pack which requires a heavy duty 
>>> scissors to cut open.
