"Entirely delightful"
What I like:
Design, easy to use, sound quality, video, thin and small.
What I don't like:
Area of earphone jack, no radio, and is somewhat pricey...?
Review:
Really, really good. Its sound quality is one of the best players around. The screen is nice and the video option is nice, but you can only enjoy something like a movie trailer, a music video or a short clip on it. The screen is too small to watch anything longer than around 5 minutes. Included earbuds worked well. Strangely, it's not available in America but it is in Canada...

Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface

Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
