Sound quality.FM Tuner.Voice/FM Recorder.USB hosting.Ogg Support. Fantastic Screen.Freeform directory structure.

The case isn't pretty. Chunky compared to iPod's.Poor Quasi-Shuffle.

Good sound.Nice screen.

Too heavy and very poor customer support.

Supports Vorbis encoding, records from a stereo microphone, lets you copy music back out

It's just not as cool as an iPod.

Does it all, audio, FM, recording, text, pics, video. Color LCD, USB 2.0

Size, case, and takes some time to master interface

Great sound, connects as hard drive, good battery life, usable, holds a lot of music

Ear buds fall out of ears, could be a little easier to navigate.

Great sound, multi-purpose, decent range of peripherals

Terrible software, battery life

Excellent hardware features in a great form factor, the best non-Apple player on the market.

Software support glitches mar this otherwise fine player.

small, not much software overhead, huge storage, great battery life

heavy, quirky, controls, lack of updates, some disk access delays
