At 40% the size of the original device, the G2 "trims the fat" and refines itself compared to the much bulkier and awkward device. With a 2.5" screen and easier to access buttons, the device allows users to gain access to all types of WiFi connections, including ones which require secure browser based logins. The main attraction of the device is its user customizable radio stations which pull from a category of over 2 million songs, and allow users to request songs. Overall, reactions to the device has been quite positive, but this is not saying reviewers have not faces certain issues with the device, such as the fact that the G2 doesn't play well with choppy or slow connections, and updating radio stations requires the user to wait 10 to 15 minutes for the player to buffer and cache all of the data that is required.
