Advantages: micro sd card slot, fm radio, volume, videos Disadvantages: main control dial, menus, equaliser, Apple unfriendly (no AAC support)
Sound Quality Excellent
Ease of Use Simple - too simple, needs a little more choices on the menu.
Look & Design - looks like an average phone!, not very classy.
Range of Features Excellent but.......
Value for Money - depends on where and how you buy it really.
Advantages: record fm radio, play videos, micro sd expnasion port.
Disadvantages: will not handle Apple aac files which rules out 95% of my library. Expect to re-rip your cd's or convert aac to something the Iriver likes.
Recommend to potential buyers: yes but......

I also chose the Iriver X20 with 2GB internal memory and then chose to review it in the 4GB category. BUT as I have a 2GB micro SD card in the Iriver's slot it IS a 4GB X20 so there!
Yes the colour ...

Advantages: Tiny Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!
I bought my first Nano a week ago and have had to take it back to the shop to change it already. For some reason I had problems getting it to turn on sometimes but the shop exchanged it for me and the new one seems to be fine.
To being with, it really is a small as the adverts make out, if not smaller. When I first saw it I was shocked! The 4GB can hold approx 1000 songs and can also store photos but this obviously takes up memory so the more photos you have, the fewer songs you can store.
Apparently the first batch of Nano's had problems with the screen cracking and people have said to be careful of forgeting its in your pocket and sitting down. This didn't surprise me as it is so thin but I have sat on it a number of times! Once for 40 mins in a lecture and it has been fine!
It does more than just store music and photos though ...
Advantages: A whole 4 GB of data storage Disadvantages: Size, prone to getting lost

- Introduction - > At the beginning
Archos was an established company in 1988. A storage data 'niche' was found in the market; by which they explored with different types of data components.

They have been a global leader in portable technologies Archos. If, you are not aware of Archos; I can state that everyone in the Western world has certainly used their products ...
Available in five colors, the Volcano T7 is the latest DAP player. Reminiscent of a memory stick and with a small OLED display, it's available in both 2GB and 4GB versions. There's also a USB 2.0 port, an FM radio, and an equalizer. There's also a recording function, both for voice and radio.
