Steve, Horsham , “Gadget lover”

+ It's all about size when you choose a portable music device, they don't come much smaller than this. The sound quality is the standard ipod quality and so are the materials (aluminuim case) very good product.

- Lack of a screen, but it will speak the playtlist/album/artist name at a touch of a button. Also because of it's size, charging can be a hassle as it will not dock on to any ipod docking station I know, so computer or wall socket charger is you're best bet, if the travel "i want" charger is on offer - get it!

+ This i-pod is fantastic for running it holds, all of my music. The battery life is quite good. The speaker was a great added bonus but the battery life on that is a little poor, it would be better if it came with a plug in connection.

- The I-pod didn't come with a plug in charger, it only came with a computer USB connetcor. I would have preferred to have a plug in adaptor over the free speaker.
