i also got one of these on blackfriday at bestbuy. it’s a soso buy but i would shell out a little more for a better mp3 player. a nice buy for a child maybe
Huh. A video playing Creative Zen was slightly cheaper than this not that long ago… Though I’ve had no problems with re-loved products from woot, one would assume that a vanilla player would be slightly cheaper…
Think I’m going to have to pass - my only gripe about the Zen is only ten minutes recording at a time - wonder if this one does more - be helpful for students recording lectures.
Not sure, but clips are good for exersizing and such if you don’t have an armband.
People pay over $70 for a plain (1G) ipod shuffle… this is half the price and dtwice the space
my daughter bought one of these for me for Christmas and I love it. It is so lightweight it is almost unbelievable. It is super easy to use too.
You can read a lot of comments about these on BB’s website- most people love them, some hate them.
I love mine and I am so glad I have it. It is just perfect for my needs.
Subtract the $10 shirt coupon, and it only cost $5 extra for a bigger screen, 2GB more storage, a microSD slot, and (hopefully—it hasn’t arrived yet for me to verify that it’s a V1) the ability to use Rockbox.
That said, this one looks like it doesn’t have the proprietary connector, if that matters to you.
On the other hand, does anyone know how sturdy these guys are compared to the e200’s? (consistently sturdy, that is, since the comments for the e260 seem to indicate that they’re either extremely solid or rather easily breakable)
I’ve never used it with an audiobook but when I turn it off in the middle of a song, when I turn it back on it starts playing the song where it was when I turned it off.
I bought two of these (new from amazon for $18 more each) - one for me and one for my wife. She wanted a shuffle - because it’s small and it has a clip so it’s good for going to the gym. I opted for these because they are only a smidge larger then the ipod, have a clip, twice the space, an lcd so you can see what’s playing, and the ability to shuffle or choose what you want to listen to. If your in the market for a shuffle, then this is perfect.
