"Just to reiterate two of the main flaws: * The screen really does scratch very easily! It is as soft or probably softer than CD jewel cases. Far from the iPod Touch's glass screen. * The SD card integration is very disappointing. You can only browse by directory structure, not artist/album. When playing music if you leave the 'Now Playing' screen the music will stop."

agreed: "SDHC memory card support"
agreed: "SD memory is separate from internal memory in the UI which makes for a frustrating experience"

"Having said that, the screen is big and clear. The interface is not amazing but not bad either. The sound quality is very good (iPod touch gave me headaches for some reason) and it is cheap! And an SDHC card slot is definitely no bad thing. If only it acted like an add-on to internal memory."

"You can use it with linux. E.g. Amarok supports MTP devices. Other points not really mentioned here: * The files on your memory card do not become part of your library. The only way to play them is to browse the disk structure. Also while playing the files from the SD card you can't do anything else (you can with files in internal memory). * You can only import everything or nothing from the memory card to internal memory. Not critical but an annoying limitation. * The screen stays on (i.e. you can't get it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time) unless you lock the player. This is pretty annoying, for example if you have the player on your desk where there is no chance of accidentally pressing keys you have to lock it otherwise the backlight quickly (well quicker...ly anyway) uses up your battery life."
