"So close to greatness... but still excellent"
Pros: Price, ease of use, interface, small size, excellent screen
Cons: Limited file format support (podcasts require conversion), SD card treated separately in interface creates inconvenience
Summary: This is an excellent PMP. And I've tried lots. Cowon D2 and I7. Meizu M6. Archos 605. This beats them all... except perhaps the new Sony NWZ-A800 series which I love thanks to its native video podcast (H.264) support.
Creative have done a really nice job with the user interface. Slick and pretty responsive. I like the "DJ" function, great for quick hits. The SD card however is treated as a separate storage unit and is not integrated with rest of the media. Hopefully this will change in a future firmware update.
I also like the standard mini USB cable, the shortcut key that is customizable (nice!), and the vibrant screen.
Overall excellent. Highly recommended. For those looking for video podcast compatibility - albeit smaller screen - check out the new Sony NWZ-A800 series.

I would love to be able to add songs from my SD Card to my different playlists and play them in shuffle mode. That would truly extend the player's capacity/functionality.
