Maxfield has introduced a new MP3 player which is the MAX-IVY. This player is available in various capacities. The player is extremely sleek and the design is simply too good. The MAX-IVY comes with a 1.8 inch TFT-LCD display with a illuminated touch screen buttons.
The MAX-IVY has a photo viewer and along with this it supports all type of audio media. The supported formats include MP3, WMA and OGG. The MP3 player will be available in 1GB which costs around $185 , 2GB which will be $235 and the maximum capacity one is the 4GB player which will set you back close to $335. The player at this point in time does not have support for video files, so you will have to stick to your iPod videos for that. On the whole it is a decent alternative to the iPod since it has a longer battery life too. The battery lasts for over 14 hours on a single charge which is pretty good.
The MAX-IVY player also supports .lrc files, which means you can read the lyrics whilst listening to the songs on the player. The release date for the player is not yet known but we will be waiting for the launch.
