Consumer review (newegg.com)
if you buy it, it's strictly a mp3 player. other features do not work so well.
price, works as advertised. easy to load
cheaply made, radio is worthless, will not pick up the local station very well! get what you pay for
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I can't blame them for this though, I should have checked it out myself prior to purchasing.
small, easy to use
was not able to use it for the intended purpose which was for downloading audio books, was not refundable after finding this out

Tips: Leave the sticker on the display, the clear one to protect the cover... Then slide it in the cover and presto, you will be protected and it wont peel off. Take off the cover only when u change the batts.... and that wierd strap thing goes on ur...
Where do I start, its price was right, its looks are great, its so lightweight for those of us who exercise... does what it says and more. When I used Winamp PRO to transfer the media the thing worked great. In the same order i transferred it too, so...
Its cheap, it should be cheaper, i would have bought 2 of them. Its lightweight controls make up for the price difference, hopefully they don't break
Consumer review (newegg.com)
When I baught its was $25 mail in rabate, but not yet received even after 3 months. No replays to e-mail from saller.
Not worth buying. Lots of bug in its siftware. Cheap yet not worth for money. One energiger battery last for 2-3 hours only. I think it battery even when switched off
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Newegg rocks since they're letting me return it with a full refund.
The premise is of course a pro, but in comparison to other MP3/USB's that I've had, it pales
DO NOT USE TO NON-MUSIC USES ; First off, it only holds 1GB. (No matter how many times I re-format it.) It even says 2GB in one spot, and then there's a sticker that says 1GB. Lame. And the big con is that it slowly started CORRUPTING ALL THE NON-MUSIC...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
This thing is great, but why not go for the 4gb model?
Built in mic for recording audio ; fm receiver (you can record radio) ; great sound quality
made out of cheap plastic (this is no ipod) and transfer to the device seems slow but no problems ; navigation a little clunky and I had to read parts of the pdf manual on mini cd to figure the advanced features out
Consumer review (newegg.com)
It eats up the cheap battery that comes with it and spits it back out. Quality batteries last a good while in it. Just like any other small fragile electrical device, you take care of it and it'll serve it's purpose.
Holds a LOT of music, neat backlight colors, good randomisation
Navigating through directories can be a pain, but I just load the music into the base directory and it's good to go
Consumer review (newegg.com)
To me it worth buying.
Cheap. Value for money. 2gb space is good enough. Sound quality is good. I used it with my Harman/carden speaker and it sounds great with them
Low battery life ( with ordinary battery), some where around 6 hours. When changing FM station once it freezed. Seems a bug in software
Consumer review (newegg.com)
For a first time MP3 buyer, this one will do. For someone who is experienced and looking for a cool new toy, stay away.
Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. MP3 plugs directly into you computer for easy access to upload and delete mp3s
File transfer is slow. Says that it is USB 2.0 but moves like 1.1. Mine also shuts off and skips if it gets too hot. Thats right, I said it, SKIPS. It seems to jump around in a song or book when the temp in the car goes up or it sits in direct sunlight
