Advantages 20 GB of MP3 storage Disadvantages a tad bulky
...that Apples ipod do include. In my opinion there is only one ipod MP3 player. No-one can emulate it. If, you’re an ipod fanatic this MP3 player could put your nose out of joint; it carries a slightly clumsy portable player look and feel than Apples’ ipod marketing dream machine. The display is of good quality but now looks a little outdated.
The features are limited on the audio media files – MP3, WMA, PCM (WAV). Though I was impressed with quality.
