"Perfect for me"
What I like:
WMA format, not an IPOD, sound quality (with Sennheiser headphones), ease of use
What I don't like:
No AC charger supplied with player. Not able to find a maufacturer website that has any info on product and accessories!
Review:
Needed to replace my battered RIO Carbon. Thought I would get a Creative Zen but product felt clunky and not very durable. Passing through Hong Kong found this gem. Easy to use, small enough to slip into a pocket and sound quality (albeit with non-Iriver headphones) excellent. WMA file format ideal as straight transfer from RIO. Does not feel as if it has the same tough quality as the RIO, but nonetheless a worthy successor. Extra 3Gb space welcome. Great value for money exceptional. The 8Gb model in Hong Kong cost under £110.

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

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