Has shock protection, has a remote, works either on a AC adapter or 2 AA batteries. It was for around Rs. 3400 (in grey market, Heera Panna in Mumbai). I am not sure, but it also has a FM tuner. |
Umm yes, aiwa was manufactured by barron international in india, they were my tennants, they ran away without payin their dues.
Apparently they have sued sony for a fairly big amount and blah.
The fact remaining, aiwa as a brand aint really stable, where as sony is.

The iPod is prolly the best purchase ive made this year, I chose it over the mini cause the mini is really really overpriced, it might look real classy and ****, but 250$ for 5gb and 299$ for 20gb [15 when i took mine]
Secondly i read on some forum, before i purchased mine, about certain minis being recalled by apple cause of someprobelm reguarding lot of static noise. etc
I would suggest u save a bit more and go in for the iPod, they released a u2 special, the only pod in black, but it costs like 350$.
The ipod photo has just been released too, thats about 450$ and can store pictures etc too. basically color.the u2 / photo arent worht it. Go in for the normal 20gb ipod. [hope ur an audiophile]
