Advantages: easy to use good value for money

Disadvantages: headphone covers,touch sesitive pad little to sensitive

Have had one of these for about six months or so and have found it great. The software supplied with it is so easy to use and they haven't left out a thing. The only gripe is the headphone cover sponges, don't expect to have them for too long I lost mine after a week. But for the price of a new set of headphones I still think this unit is very good value for money.Make sure you set the sensitivity of the touch controller to low because it is very sensitive and make sure to lock it when in play mode. The capacity of this unit is dependent on the length of tracks and the format. You should be able to fit 10,000 tracks in WMA format at 64kbps and 5,000 mp3 at 128 kbps all these figures based on four minute songs. Battery life you can expect 16 hrs continuous provided you dont keep accessing the menu all the time. There is a task manager,organiser,radio,calendar and contacts facilities on this unit making it your your very own singing filofax. You can also have your own playlist, select rarely heard tracks, most popular tracks or your album of the day. Skipping tracks is no problem, just fast forward to the next. There is a play all function which will play in consecutive order and also my favourite the random play-all so every track is a surprise. All in all a fine unit, the only other disadvantage is the touch pad is still quite sensitive even when set to low, but you soon get used to it.Move over i-pod there is a serios contender for your place

Summary: smart looking easy to use great software
