Advantages: Good value for money, small, lightweight

Disadvantages: No wall charger, breaks easily

I bought this little gadget a good while ago now, probably about 18 months ago!

I loved it, I mean what is there to say. It is light, stylish, great value for money, and the sound quality is fantastic on the included earphones. I also really liked it, because of it's drag and drop capabilities. This meant that I could just drag any of my MP3 files directly into it when it was connected to my PC. This also meant that I wasn't tied down to Itunes, and could source my music elsewhere.

I found that it was easy to use, and wasn't over complicated, which I liked, because I hate reading instruction manuals!

I did however, find one or two things wrong with the device;

My USB lead that came with it, broke only after a few weeks, and so I had to buy a new one. Also, when I was in Holland visiting my Family, my cousin, managed to break it, with very little effort. I also disliked the fact that, it came with no wall charger, and so if I was away from my PC, I couldn't charge the player, so when traveling, this can become a pain.

Overall, I think this gadget is very good value for money, but you need to make sure you are happy with charging from a PC, and you have no little people coming round, who don't understand delicate electronic devices.

Summary: Nice little MP3 Player for the money, but maybe look for something more robust.
