Advantages Fits on your arm or waist for exercise Disadvantages Not got a lot of modern technology
...I brought this MP3 Player to use while exercising. I found i got a great deal from argos on the price as i got double memory (512mb) for the price of 256mb for around £105.
The Look: It's look is very up to date and fashionable, black on the front with a silver rim and silver on the back. The screen is a bit small located on the front (when atached toyour arm facing outwards)
The Technology: Its technology is not the best on the market but does the job it is intended to do. the screen displays the name of the song, the time it is running for. You can create playlists. It can attach to your waist or your arm (i found that my arm was more comfortable). The memory is 512 however i have only uploaded around 30 songs, this was very very easy, i just connected the lead to my computer and copied the songs into the MP3 folder.
The Sound...

Advantages sleek, eyecatchy, sound quality is good,headphones comfortable, sability of the s/w in the player is nice and with minimal no. of clicks. Disadvantages software,cant drag and drop,Not so user friendly
...I wanted a flash drive music player when i workout in gym or jogging or playing, i was looking a Sony n/w player but landed up in this Philips-NikePSA220 in a descent deal.
I have been using this since May 2005,
The first thing i get furious about this product is its software (they call it DMM).
Dis Adv of this s/w
1) You cant drag and drop
2) This is a Java s/w and its interface is so dumb
3) Not so user friendly
4) If you think, you would use the PC regularly to upload songs to this, then better dont go for this (You need lots of patience to work with this s/w)
But other than the s/w side, the player is sleek, with a different spherical design (ofcourse its eyecatchy), sound quality is good,
esp i should comment on the headphones (man they've designed it so comfortable and so different , i luv 'em...
