Advantages: cheap, small, simple.

Disadvantages: Not much memory, slightly plasticy.

My friend has one of these and constantly has the piss taken. Despite this it's actually a very good piece of kit. OK might be a bit plasticy and not brilliantly well built, but for the money it's excellent. It will play normal mp3 files and at a high quality too. Up to 192kbps. 2Gb of memory is enough to hold about 500 songs. So not terrific capacity, but still impressive. It is also very portable and fits easily into a pocket - A real plus for me when in a hurry. It will take any normal headphones. It has some very handy extras, like the alarm clock and world clock. To sum up, this is an excellent mp3 player for £35.00. You get a lot of quality for not very much. I highly recommend it as a first mp3 player. OK, it's not iPod quality, but it is still impressive for the money. The only downside is the capacity is not amazing, however I don't know if Philips do other models with more memory... All in all a top device and great value for money.

Summary: great value for money :)
