Do not buy this product

Advantages: Quick to upload music
Disadvantages: Very unreliable

...mini and going for the samsung yh-920. At first i was very impressed by the mp3 as it took no time at all for the software to load to the computer and put the music onto the ipod. I also was imprssed with the price of £120 from ebay which was £10 cheaper than the ipod mini at the time. However, after a few weeks, problems started to occur. When you turned it on it would turn on but the screen and music would not. There would just be a quiet wizzing ...
...difficult to link to the mp3 player. I investigated the problem of it not turning on on the internet an found that if you pressed the napster logo below the screen when pressing the on button this would help. I tried it and reliability improved slightly but it still did not turn on everytime so as a result i sent it back to the sender and got a refund. I then bought a ipod mini and have had no problems with it since. ...

Samsungs iPod beater

Advantages: Great sound, MP3 / colour photo / video / FM / games, smart design
Disadvantages: does'nt have the kudos of the iPod

...This is simple with the Samsung software which converts them to MP3's. Apart from the already present music, photo and video folders in the unit you can easily create your own folders and use the device as an external HDD for extra storage, file transfer or back up. This is also real easy. It has 5 games included I have not used them but hey are; Othello - win stones by placing then either diagonally, horizonal or vertically Omok - win the game ...
...have not really used the Samsung provided software. Samsung actually includes a very useful looking multimedia studio software which includes image and video editing. The image capture to take still images from video is a nice feature. Summary I only bought my 20Gb iriver 3 months ago and was dissapointed by it's large size and lack of video playback. After some research I choose the samsung as a replacement. I am no longer dissapointed, the samsung ...

Awesome bit of kit

Advantages: Advantages: Big, beautiful screen, packed full of features
Disadvantages: Disadvantages: Back is easily scratched/scuffed, defaul earbuds aren't great

...iPod can also access the apple app store via Wi-Fi where users can download a variety of applications which can be accessed from the home screen. These range from games to currency converters. There is a lot of user generated content here, it would literally take days to view everything on offer. Unfortunately the iPod touch does suffer from a few issues. First of all the battery doesn't last a very long time during wi-fi and movie sessions, you ...
...best. However, the battery has served me very well if I just want to listen to music - I barely noticed a drop in battery charge after a good 6 hours of constant listening. The back of ipod will take a lot of minor scratches VERY easily. I can't stress how quickly your little bundle of technology will start to gather scratches. Finally, I reccomend buying a set of earphones too. The pair that come with the ipod are really quite sub par, but obviously ...

Disadvantages: supplied software slow,clunky, limited video compatability,battery life

I was looking for an mp3 player for my forthcoming holiday but am not keen on ipods as there sound quality seems to get bad reviews so after some research, I came across this piece of kit. Now on receiveing my useful gadget i was suprised at how small it was. Smaller than most mobiles and very thin about 10mm at a guess. It also feels very nice in the hand and weighs next to nothing. Considering my last mp3 player was a creative. No issues there ...
...playing time, have not charged this unit for last weeks, have used intermintently and still has full power. Sound quality is very good even with supplied in ear headphones. This mp3 is very easy to use and very intuative. All in all. Practical for holidays/quality sound/wireless headphones/easy to use/unreal battery life/music/video and quality screen. ...
