A very high quality and easy-to-use dictaphone / mp3 player / USB stick.

highly recommended

DEAD - This isn't in use, even as a music player, because I wrecked the audio jack.
abandoned - the store page is gone and I didn't have a brand page

For extremely cheap telephone service using VoIP, I have this device. Instead of having my computer on all the time, I have this box hooked up to my network. I then have a regular telephone plugged into it. Once configured, everything is magic.

I think I purchased mine from CanadaComputers - Cisco SPA122 on canadacomputers.com

I got this for Connecting a PlayStation 2 to a contemporary monitor. It works great.

I also got a Round to Flat Power Plug Convertor - Black to use with a two-prong flat plug.

A basic dictaphone and mp3 player.

It records with horrible static with both its in-built and provided microphone, but its mp3 playback is spectacular. Its utterly shit mp3 interface, slow song switching and no shuffle make it basically useless as a player.

I bought this lower-sized version because it mentioned having a lithium battery. It does not, which pisses me off to no end.

While this works, it is definitely not recommended. Buy something else, even if it costs more.

There is no name brand or model identification on this device or its documentation.

The batteries on my Zaurus SL-C1000 failed to work, so I did some looking around and found a solution.

My battery could charge and would boot up my device. While it showed as fully charged it would "drain" extremely quickly.

Following these instructions I was able to completely resurrect one battery, but a second one did not work. That second battery had a bit of a bulge, so I'm guessing it went completely bad.

With great thanks to SWilliams: https://youtu.be/CCQU8eW3TGk
