The Pontis SP600 MP3 Player sounds superb and works with both Multimedia Card and Compact Flash Card memory.

It is the first MP3 player capable of supporting memory cards of different formats simultaneously, with two memory card slots and a potential 4Gb memory capacity, enabling the listener to enjoy up to 66 hours' of CD-quality music.

Measuring j90 by 65 by 20mm, which is about the size of a computer mouse, and weighing 100g, this elegant silver player also has a five-band graphic equaliser for superb sound management.

Tracking your music is really easy with a large format, graphic display with back-light.

The SP600 comes with a removable 64Mb flash card memory and the option of playing downloadable phone games.

A major plus point is high-quality Sennheiser earphones that make all the difference to the quality of received sound.

It is an expensive toy but well-constructed and certainly able to deliver the goods.
