Consumer review (newegg.com)
It's only because of the years of therapy. I still maintain that that was just a ploy by the record company to see how stupid the general "rap" consumer was. And ya know what, I'd bet a fiver he sold a million record with that junk. Yeah, I'm American...
I've owned this thing for 2 years now (I know!) and it's worked wonderfully throughout. Yes, the little plastic screen protector with the "Pengo" name on it cracked and eventually fell off, and I lost the cap for the USB, but I wasn't, in any way kind...
Hatred (Yeah, I know I'm supposed to be writing pros and cons and my "other thoughts", but I don't really have other thoughts, I just have one big one. I will not conform to your industrialist review system!) for the seemingly infinite amount of...

Looked like a nice unit but the buttons seemed flimsy. This should have been the telltale sign of things to come. Never could power it on. Installed the battery several times...nothing. Battery was tested and fine. Then, plugged it into the USB port...
Couldn't tell you
Poor workmanship. Hence D.O.A
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I still like this little player.
The price is right and the thing works really pretty good. First mp3 player for me. I just wanted to try something out, see if I would even use it. I didn't even know it came with a head set
Every time you press a button the screen color changes ; I installed the software on two XP computers and it didn't work on either one. The wma converter worked and...you guessed it...the auto start, so now it starts with Windows
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Hahahaaa it comes with an extra carring case which is actually a sock... I gave it away, but it was free so no complaints.
I just wanted a simple MP3 player for running ; Came with average headphones, but sound better with headphones I already own ; Also comes with a sweet protective rubber case w/arm band & a usb extention cord ; Easy to use, light weight, does the job I...
My only con is that if you organize your MP3's with directories, you have to play through each directory to get to the next ; I only use it for running & have set play lists so this doesn't really bother me. There may be a way to skip through but don't...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
First of all it was cheap 20.00 ! for a 1GB mp3 player come'on now, anything cheaper it will be free and our Newegg website wouldn't exist :) It's really a good price compared to 149.99 for an ipod nano that my girlfriend has, tried to tell her that an...
Oh yeah I dropped it on my hard wood floor and it sort of opened up, but i just snapped it back in ..so the only con is that is sort of cheap , but not really cause is only 20.00 dollars. If you know your not a careful person and probably might get...

Consumer review (newegg.com)
Great player for a very low price.
Had a little trouble syncing it with WMP but the issue was resolved.
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Well trying to get this thing replaced on their support center....... still waiting after a week for a reply
does everything an mp3 player should do, basically nothing to complain about, excellent player for the price
battery life 1 battery every 2 days. Bought two of them, ones dead because of a storm which knocked out the power mid file transfer. Basically fried the inside as it won't turn on again. Seriously, what type of maker would build such an awesome...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
It is inferior now. Butthat is my fault after waiting so long to comment. sorry.
Not bad when I got it
drains battery rather fast
Consumer review (newegg.com)
all in all, its worth it. would be nice if they had a format utility to "fix" any issues with it, i feel Pengo has little to no support. great cost, works, lasts about 8 hours on 1 battery! i havnt tested out the nxt best low cost mp3 player so i cant...
great price, cost:benefit ratio is positive. its simple, looks nice, small, easy to use and add songs. perfect only IF you use it to click the play button, after that it gets
GRRRR...if it didnt stop working randomly it'd be great. the controls are a bit irritating, so all i can manage to do without getting a bad attitude is jus hit play. i've bought a couple of these and one simply is stuck on random play, and i cnt figure...
