iPod - a word that makes me want to vomit.
I can't stand Apple, and never have been able to - though i have many friends who swear by them.
So, when searching for an mp3 player that WASN'T an iPod i struggled. Now, wandering through town, despondant and weary my bearing perked up as i wandered into a local little electronics place and spotted this - the price was right, it had enough memory... I'll take it!

So, we'll start with teh cons...
You can't operate the touch panel through gloves. Being a cyclist, this is a major pain in the backside as it means you can't actually do anything with it at all while its cold.
The random play seems to like the same thirty or so tracks. Now, seeing as you load it up with tracks you like, this seems to be a good thing in a bizarre way - its really not. you get tired of it after a while!

Now, the considerably longer list of Pro's!
The included software is fantastic - its a music player for the computer - basically Samsungs own version of iTunes, but BETTER!!!!
The player itself is easy to use, right down to the charging - its simply plug into the computer and its charging.
The looks - its a beautiful piece of kit, black with a chrome edging, simple, elegant and incredibly slim!
Weightwise, theres nothing to it - you have to remind yourself its there from time to time.
Cost - its less than a third of the price of an iPod, but equally as well featured, better looking....
Customisation - when plugged into the computer you can customise the colour scheme through a simple download.
Photos - you can store and view photos on this player, alongside your music.
Radio - it has a simple to use, good quality radio built in...


There is enough on this player to keep you entertained until the longlife battery dies, and then through the next two charges before you settle down to using it like you wouuld any other... beware, its great fun!
