"Don't believe the hype"
What I like:
Cool design, big screen, good video
What I don't like:
The software, no picture zoom
Review:
I can't believe that no one mentions the fact that you can not zoom the pictures you load into that thing. Hello, even my cell phone can do that! And what is with the power-on routine?
This thing turns on all the time when you carry it around in a pocket. No way to turn it off, each button turns it on again at the slightest touch and drains the battery. Not even the lock button disables that feature. I was lured by the design but I regret I bought that thing. Don't want to start talking about the software!

MySpace Music stumbles into the UK: Eugh
MySpace Music launched in the UK today, and we just don't get it. Not only is it ludicrously late to the party, it's just horrible to use

Has an impressive range of features, but its unresponsive touchscreen is annoying
Philips GoGear Muse
Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
