This is a great little device, it is one of the lightest mp3 players ever and the little speaker in the back is pretty loud. The whole device seems relatively well built, albeit a little plasticky. You would think that the buttons on the front would start to wobble around a bit after a bit of use, but they actually remain pretty sturdy.

Let's start with the boot up. From holding the button down to the main screen opening it takes less that a mere 4 seconds! This is a very quick device, and the user interface is very nice, with everything sliding onto the screen when certain buttons are pressed.

You can easily click on music, then have it sorted by artist, song e.t.c. In the main music menu, you get quite a nice slideshow of all your album covers. When you select a song to play, it comes up with details of the song and a faint image of the album cover, if available. It would be nicer if the album cover was solid, and right in the center of the screen so that you could see it.

The video quality on the Mozaic is not the nicest, but in my opinion you can cope with it if you have no other option. One other issue is that the transitions in different menus can occasionally get a little bit laggy.

All in all this is a really great device, and as it is extremely cheap for an MP3 player, it is great value for money.

(+) Great screen quality and size, built in speaker and stand.
(-) The only downside is that it is fragile, and can be hard to get used to the on screen keyboard.
