Good Points

Excellent features and support for lots of sound file formats. Great sound. It does films and photos on the colour screen, too, with limitations . It has a good built-in radio, it can show lyrics to songs as they play, it has a dynamic playlist feature, it can record from audio input or the built-in radio, it even's got an alam clock function. And the capacity is just enourmous - 60 Gb, so I use it as a backup disk, too. It can be a USB host, too, so I can upload pictures to it directly from my digital camera, as well. All in all: it can to a wealth of things - and quite well too. Especially play music!


Bad Points

Battery life.


General Comments

Good looking MP3-device, whose limited photo-capabilites is my only major disappointment. Excellent sound quality - and lots of good features. Battery life is not as good in reality. The user interface can sometimes be slightly awkward. There is a limit to sizes of photos that can be shown. It doesn't understand the concept of folders for photos - everything is in one big collection - do not get this item if you want to use it for photos. There is no output to TV, for films or photos. Screen could be a bit larger, too.
