Sarah, Essex , “No techno junkie”

Score 9.0/10

+ easy to use and portable, also can link it to a speakers so dont need a large system taking up room elsewhere. Alot cheaper than it's nearest rivals but just as good.

- can be a liitle difficult to navigate as the joy stick controls can be a bit fidderley.

Beth, Manchester , “Woof”

Score 10.0/10

+ It's almost perfect

- When you put your songs on shuffle and you've accidently gone past a song you want to listen to you can't go back to the previous song which you could do on the previous 2 gig model.

Elliott, Chesham , “Dog walking music lover”

Score 8.0/10

+ I loved how simple it was to use, adding music, videos and some JPGs was really, really easy. Friends were impressed with the video quality, music and displaying JPGs.

- One thing that could be improved was that if I plugged into my external powered USB hub with my laptop off, it didn't charge it. In fact worse it stayed "on" and drained the battery. This is no fun when you want music on the morning dog walk!
