"Solid player"
Pros: Drag and Drop transfer, simple GUI
Cons: Processor: slow, slow, slow!
Summary: Bought this because I also own the Gmini 400, which I believed was a really good PvP/MP3 player other than the small screen and navigation. While this player does have a simpler navigation, it's processor is just too slow. Comparing it to the Gmini 400 which was already behind my iPod Video, it's not even close. Skipping songs is a no-no, takes around 15+ seconds for the song info to show up, and sometimes it takes time to load the song if you decide to skip a couple. System noise can also be heard, same with the Gmini 400 but it wasn't as noticeable or bad on that. This player does do a good job on what it's supposed to do, but the processor ruins the enjoyment. I can understand delay when skipping songs, but not when you have to sit in silence to wait for the song to load. Overall, it's decent, though I wouldn't recommend getting it now with all the alternitives you can get for a low price.
