nicola, whitley bay , “i'm not easily pleased”

Score 10.0/10

+ i absolutely love it, the sound and vision quality is exceptional, it is small enough for me to put in my tunic i wear for work so that i can listen to it at lunch time. i love being able to use it as a digital phot album too

- i still struggle to figure out how to stop a song, i sometimes end up turning it off then back on, i'm sure its very simple. i was frightened that i would damage it as it is so shiny so i bought a protective rubber skin for it off ebay, works a treat but the screen is still exposed.

+ Size of the screen is large when you consider the size of the product. Very portable. Supports a lot of video formats. Expandable memory. Nice design.

- Videos need to be converted before it is viewable on the zen. For some reason the zen needs to be connected to a computer to encode videos.

+ Absolutely brilliant. The amount of memory is large for an MP4 player, which is not an ipod. I will recommend this product to anyone wanting to by an MP4 player.
