+ Interface is great, as is bluetooth functionalilty and ability to use with mobile. The touch screen functions really well and the bonus games are brilliant. Graphics used are very pleasing on the eye and the whole look and feel is very cool.

- Having also had an Ipod, the method for selecting tracks is not as easy. A scroll bar on the screen allows you to 'stroke' up or down to get to where you want but this can lead to going the opposite way to that intended. The hierarchical menu system does not allow for 'jumping' straight back to the main menu and this can be a nuisance.

+ Excellent sound quality and easy to use touch screen "possibly a little too sensative". Good samsung pc software easy to use but a little slow to transfer info.

- Video files are difficult to transfer to the correct file type for use.
