We like:
Tonnes of features; compact and easy-to-use package; miniSD expansion slot; built-in speaker; plays protected WMA and OGG files; includes photo, video, text, recorder and gaming options; nice bright and colourful screen; excellent price
We don't like:
Budget build quality; nonstandard USB port; must transcode all video files with bundled software; no subscription support; no album art; a couple of minor bugs that hopefully will be fixed
CNET.co.uk judgement:
For a budget portable media device, the likable and feature-packed Kingston K-PEX definitely rocks
