Apart from that I own a zen touch, and when it came out it had the best sound on the market and a 24hour non stop battery life before it needs to be recharged, I still use it today mainly because I travel allot and I often don't get a chance to charge the player for stop overs so the extended battery life rules, yet I have not seen anything on the market beat or exceed these standards, its because they all now have colour screens, and finally some at a decent viewing size, however 4 hours of battery life on a big flight won't cut it for me, and since new regulations are now in effect you can't bring spare on board the plane to replace the used battery, so now extended battery life is at the forefront of the market trend and not to forget the entailing safety issues,maybe I could by a handful of stones!!!! =P; Like this Reply to this comment


by boopiejones January 8, 2008 3:23 PM PST: apparently my comment got booted for foul language. anyway, players with speakers are a bad idea. it just encourages inconsiderate people to listen outloud to their music in public places with captive audiences. like a commuter train or bus. this is a very annoying practice and is apready performed by people with speakerphones. anyone who does this needs the offending mp3 player/phone shoved directly up their hind quarters.; Like this Reply to this comment


by SilenceofAzns January 8, 2008 8:11 PM PST: It's unlikely that the people who buy this player will be using it to annoy others. It has not happened with Samsung's K5 and it probably won't happen here. Those people probably continue using their phones to do that.; Like this Reply to this comment


by boopiejones January 9, 2008 8:44 AM PST: even the author said "it gets surprisingly loud, and I must say that I'm keen on the idea of walking around with my own theme music for the world to hear." not sure if she was serious, but many people are serious about having their own "theme music." thankfully i have noise isolating headphones, but i feel sorry for all the poor souls that do not.; Like this Reply to this comment
