I love this device, it fits perfectly in my hand. The finish is awesome, resistant to scratches and feels pretty solid. The software is very fast, everything loads fast thanks to the Nvidia Tegra chip. I’m amazed with the menu, it is very easy to use, the hystory and the pin features are very cool. I’m not using the radio feature much, but the HD radio sounds just fantastic. The social features like sharing and downloading favorites are very nice and fun.
I would highly recommend this device to anyone looking for a portable media player, it’s the best alternative to ipod and it beats it easily in my opinion.
Pros:
- size
- design
- wifi
- browser
- HD radio
Cons:
- battery life
- no integrated speakers
The OLED screen is amazing! The videos look almost 3D on it. The device is quite small and slim, fits perfectly in my hands. The music costs significally less than with the iPod. I like the user interface very much, it is very cool looking and easy to use. HD radio is a nice addition. The sound quality is perfect, although I would like to have a better graphic equalizer.
I would like to have a better web browser (with flash support) and more apps, hopefully firmware updates will improve this but overall I think it well worth the price I paid for it.
Pros:
OLED screen, HD Video, sound quality, HD radio, battery life
Cons:
Browser could be better, Price, No Camera, few audio settings
