"I want to like it, but I don't"
What I like:
Build quality is good
What I don't like:
Trying to get video from camcorder onto 704
Review:
I bought this from QVC, complete with docking station. To look at the presentation on TV this looked simple to use. I like to think I am technically minded but this is a pain to use. I had to buy a plug in just to get it to play video too. How annoying is that? The music side of things is easy to use though.
Unless someone can show me how " easy " it is to do videos, I fear this 704 will be punted to eBay.

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
