Consumer review (newegg.com)
Sometimes you get what you pay for. At 20 dollars it's not much of a loss if I Pengo customer service doesn't send me a link for the firmware
It's cheap and easy to install
After a day of owning it the only button that works is the play button. Manufacturer's web page doesn't have firmware for this model
Consumer review (newegg.com)
You really can't beat this one. For such a cheap price you get a lot of functionality out of a reliable product.
Excellent Price. Always works. Decent battery life. Handy for flash drive and radio features as well
The included earbuds are short, and don't stay in well when exercising

Radio resets your stations if you press "Play/Pause", this "Design Feature" is troublesome if you forget you are in the Radio and want to pause the music. Also, DONT DROP IT, mine is broken now :(
Most of the features work nicer than expected for a sub $xx MP3 unit. I recorded 2 hours of voice recording for only 30MB
Radio freezes up sometimes when changing channels, even on medium battery. Then you have to go back to MP3s, and it usually still lasts another hour

It's Cheap.
I bought this at Christmas for my son.
Consumer review (newegg.com)
ONE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED A CON THOUGH, IS THAT IT'S COMPLICATED TO OPERATE THE FIRST TIME. YOU CAN'T GIVE THIS TO A 12 YEAR OLD AND EXPECT HE OR SHE TO START USING IT ON THEIR OWN BECAUSE YOU REALLY HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL AND UNDERSTAND...
SMALL. LIGHT WEIGHT. GOOD SOUND
NONE. (SEE OTHER THOUGHTS)

Price, plug and played, back lighting, voice recording, functions as a flash drive.
Feels kinda cheap, but it is.
