Smallest MP3 Portable Players

With the push toward larger and larger storage capacities, MP3 players seem to have gotten bigger over the years, not smaller. However, buyers still have a good selection of ultra-small MP3 portable players from which to choose.

In CNET's rankings of the best small MP3 players on the market, one of the winners was the Samsung S2 Pebble device. This player comes in a variety of colors and boasts a 1 GB storage capacity.

The Pebble is also remarkably affordable with a price tag of just $39.99. The device comes with a lanyard so listeners can wear the Pebble around their necks.

According to CNET, the small Pebble packs an incredible punch in sound quality. The only criticism CNET had was that the device doesn't have a screen, which makes operating the player difficult sometimes.
