PC Magazine's Audio analyst Mike Kobrin wasn't the least bit impressed when the Klegg Mini entered the MP3 player market. He felt that its interface was very low budget and quirky, its construction cheap-feeling, and its high price appalling (back in March it was $159 for the 512MB version). Not to mention, he gave it a rating of just 2 out of 5 stars (ouch!).

Even still, Klegg Electronics is trying desperately to keep its Mini player alive in the market by releasing a 1GB version today. But no new features?!?

The 1GB Klegg Mini measures 1.8 inches by 1.6 inches, dons a 1-inch color display for song titles and pictures, offers voice recording, song shuffle, and USB 2.0 support, and claims a 26-hour battery life.

It's available in three colors: metallic blue, metallic pink and pearl white for $99.99. It also comes with lanyard earphones.

Note: There's no link to purchase the 1GB version yet on the Klegg Electronics site. I'll update this post with a buying link as soon as one is up.
