"Player Rocks - Software Sucks"
Pros: Sleek, Easy Player Usability, Diff Design, Gud Batery Life, The earphones were comfortable to me
Cons: The Software Sucks
Summary: I wanted a flash drive music player when i workout in gym or jogging or playing, i was looking a Sony n/w player but landed up in this Philips-Nike PSA220 in a descent deal.
I have been using this since May 2005,
The first thing i get furious about this product is its software (they call it DMM).
Dis Adv of this s/w
1) You cant drag and drop
2) This is a Java s/w and its interface is so dumb
3) Not so user friendly
4) If you think, you would use the PC regularly to upload songs to this, then better dont go for this (You need lots of patience to work with this s/w)
But other than the s/w side, the player is sleek, with a different spherical design (ofcourse its eyecatchy), sound quality is good,
esp i should comment on the headphones (man they've designed it so comfortable and so different , i luv 'em)
the usability of the s/w in the player to play songs and make settings is really nice and with minimal no. of clicks.
If Philips-Nike could upgrade their s/w for usability, then no doubt that this will strike the market high.
