Cheap feel,White Wheel
Review:
When the box arrived, I really wondered if there was anything in it.
This is so light, I worry a bit about loosing it.
It is, however very cool and the sound is GREAT.
I filled it up with two movies and 1100 wmas and mp3s.
That I dragged and dropped into the correct folders in the player.
One of the things that I always find a bit annoying is that if you want to watch your own Movies, that you paid hard eared money for, that you cant easily convert them into something that you can use on your PMP ( personal media player), searching around I found
http://sourceforge.net/projects/iriverter
Which converts quite nicely, if not aways in the language you expected :)
So far I like it and its not so small that I have trouble pressing buttons, that were designed for tiny people 25% my size.
Pictures, movies mp3s wmas, oogs.. overall I say great, now lets have one with 16GB as you cant add more than a 2Gb Sd card, with the current firmware.. who knows they may possibly update it to take the higher capacity cards at some point.

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
Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB)
Lack of a camera is disappointing, but this is a truly excellent media player in almost all other respects
