BIG BUCKS 😱 I was looking at those puppies last week and came to the conclusion that I just really dont need one 🙁 Man I hate being a "Grown Up".

 

[dreamliner77]

That's what I want. I think it's so much better than the ipod. #1 reason: Drag and drop, no iTunes BS.

Question though... How is the FM tuner?

 

[the_music_man]

looks really nice. and yeah i was gonna ask about the FM radio ?

 

[NetRyder]

Wow, congrats man! It's a great player.

Features-wise, it's actually better than the iPod if you compare the two. Better battery life as well. Most people tend to lean towards the iPod for it's design, but if you think about it practically...the black/silver design of these alternate players is much less prone to visible blemishes than the white surface of the Pod.
Again, very nice. I'm sure it must be great to play with.

Very nice Benny, you'll love being able to take that much music with you everywhere you go 😀

 

[Henyman]

looks nice, great buy 😀

 

[Tabula Rasa]

The FM radio is nice, it works, and you can record on the fly which is also nice (only in the 140 model so far, the 120 dosn't support this).
As for the price, well I managed to take advantage of the unstable russian echonomy and get it for less then 400$ 😀
I think it beats the price of a 40gb iPod.

I have to agree its not the prettiest thing I ever seen, but it looks good enough for it to be in my pocket 😛

 

[muzikool]

Very cool Benny! Congrats! 😎

 

[onimkron]

Sweet, that looks very desirable. Like the light-blue glow on the remote as well 🙂

 

[Jewelzz]

Where's mine? 😛

Very nice Benny, enjoy it

 

[Tabula Rasa]

Where's mine? 😛

In the store, top shelf (the one with the price tag on it)
😛

 

[Evil Marge]

Very very nice Ben 😎

 

[VenomXt]

excellent

 

[Glaanieboy]

I've seen these puppies in my store, but haven't had the time to play with it. The specs are good, but the price... a little too high for me. I'll stick to my 32 MB Packard Bell Audio Key 😛

 

[~bk]

Wow! That's really nice 🙂
Congratulations!

 

[ElementalDragon]

i like Archos's mp3/video players personally.

 

[Admiral Michael]

Very nice! I like the look!

 

[Khayman]

As soon as i find one on ebay for 50 quid, its mine 🙂

 

[Grandmaster]

It's beautiful! Awesome man! 😀
