Manufacturer description
The Gateway USB Digital Audio Player is an ultra sleek, multifunctional device that is much more than a typical MP3 player because it really is three products in one. Serving as an MP3 player, digital voice recorder and storage drive all-in-one, this product brings functionality and mobility to a new level. Incredibly easy to use, this audio player requires no special software - just drag and drop music and data files directly onto the device.Product summary
The good: Plugs directly into a USB port; LCD; voice recording; 10-band EQ; customizable logo; rounded, rugged design.
The bad: Memory not expandable; no carrying case or armband.
The bottom line: Though nothing makes it stand out from similarly priced competitors, Gateway's first MP3 player is solidly constructed and has a few nice frills.

Cons: Component and Battery are connect via USB plug which makes it skip eveytime you shake it. If you aren't interested in doing anything it was made for then this is the product for you.

Cons: My first 3 in 1 (256mb)would reformat if I tried to put more than 120mb of songs on it or if there was any error with the transfer. Sent it back and the new unit doesn't like to fast forward through songs and sometimes just stops playing for no apparent r

pretty cool.
Pros: The voice recorder is the differance maker. None of the other combo devices do that.
