"Best mini mp3 player around"
Pros: Lots of functions, battery life, fm tuner
Cons: small armband, power buttons.
Summary: This is the best portable mp3 player around. Lots of functions and options. Decent fm tuner and the battery life is incredible. The unit was left on for 3 continuous days roughly 72 hours and still had some charge left. I had a Rio unit and used one battery for around 8 hours before it died. Have an apple ipod mini and will return it because this unit is all I need. With 512mb of memory, it holds roughly 120-150 songs. Why would you need more than that at one sitting. Plus it uses a standard mini usb connector to sync and can be used as a digital recorder, record fm, and usb storage.
Now the bad stuff. Like everyone says, the armband is ridiculously small. There's no belt clip and the interface is NOT intuitive. Another annoyance is to turn on and off the unit is hold the play button down. If you put the unit in your pocket, you can inadverently turn on the unit without knowing. That's how I know the battery lasted for 3 days straight. To get around this, I'm making a habit of using the hold switch all the time.
Overall a great unit though. Highly recommended.
