Nice product with good features, it was the first of its kind, a friend of mine imported it from Korea 2 years ago and the only thing that lets it down two years on is the lack of memory, it is upgradeable though which means it could be a bargain at just £100 it’s a good choice for a novice like myself because software included is so good and easy to use with many feature you would not expect for the cost.
Pros: Drag and drop facility, good headphones
Cons: Basic, already superseded by the newer model.
Advantages: Small, light, good sound reproduction, now one of the cheaper models Disadvantages: Surpassed by newer models.
...I bought my Eiger Labs (Saehan) MPman-F20 in March of last year, when the idea of a portable MP3 player was still in its conception here in the UK (I imported it from the US). It worked very well straight out of the box - the drag-and-drop interface is easy enough to use to transfer files. The unit can also be used to transfer non-MP3 files from one PC to another - it whinges if you try and copy an MP3 off it - this facility is nonetheless useful. The parallel port connection allows MP3 files to be transferred at the rate of about 1Mb every 3 to 4 seconds, a distinct advantage over the serial port that the Rio uses for connection. The F20's 32Mb of memory is pretty much the standard you get with an MP3 player, and this is enough for half an hour at the standard 128Kbit, although I encode my MP3s for putting on the MPman at 40Kbit...

This is my first digital camera and I love it.
From using the old throwaway ones, poor quality pictures, no zoom and flashes that went off when they felt like it.
Then the mobile phone camera, from 3 megapixels up to 6 megapixels, nothing is quite... more
