"Welcome to the Beginning of Wi-Fi Radio"
Pros: Internet Radio, Large Colorful Screen, Slim Cell Phone Size, External Speaker
Cons: Missing Video Playback, No FM tuner, Limited to Yahoo Radio Service
Summary: I just got this player today and straight out of the box and a couple of clicks to connect to my WEP network and my Yahoo account, I was listening to internet radio in no time. Well first impressions are it's nice intro player into the WiFi player arena but the player seems to be missing a few quirks we've been accustomed to, notably the player is missing a FM Tuner, video playback, voice recording. But on the plus side you do get to view your photos wirelessly from you Flickr account (granted you do need to sign in using a yahoo acct though), and has the ability to share subscription music with friends(granted both members must have a yahoo unlimited music account). $249.99 retail, seems a little steep for this type of mp3 player (same price as a 30GB Ipod or Zune), but seeing how the wall charger is included and just the ablility to do internet radio, some of you might justify the price.

I just bought one of these as I am a Yahoo Music subscriber. You cannot connect to any public hotspots like Panera Bread, B&N, or Starbucks. If this is an important feature, I'd wait until they fix it. And Yahoo has a lot of licensing quirks that make it's service frustrating.

It's big step to let users to stream internet radio right through the player. But still not clear for me, "is it let users to make fav artists playlists on the player itself without using compu right through the yahoo unlimited service?". Also how about the battery life when use this WIFI connect feature(like ZUNE). BTW it's cool mp3 player with realy cool feature and hope it will make ii in big dap market.
