Great for traveling though. I am not a fan of the heft of it but my husband doesn't mind the size and this was a gift for him. 20 GB media player does it all. Keeps your documents, pics as well as music and videos, movies as well. Adapts to IPod car adaptors but again, bulky to carry around.
Wonder how many more are there like this one. I lost 100% of my money because I purchased the item in Good-faith. All, I got from the sellor is run-around and I had already told that I will not send it back,because I was advised by the authority that since its my Evidence- I must not return it if I have to file a Complaint of Fraud/Cheating. The poduct was advertised as New in Box and before buying it I had asked the sellor if I would be provided a Sales Receipt stating that the item is infact New, because iRiver will not help without the receipt. Sellor stated that it (did,nt care less if its 8-years old). Since, these cheap one-night sellors do not give Return Policy/Full Refund on Amazon,s site- wnenever and whom so ever I contacted I never got satisfactory response or the sellor will not reply ).
That tells me that there is something Fishy. Upon receiving the item- I noticed that there was No Receipt,No warranty Card, No cables,No Owner,s Inst.Manual,No Quick Start Guide,No host Cable etc. in advance it cannot be done. I must prevent another buyer not to become victim of this kind fraud. Upon, Amazon,s help and request I did everthihg I could to resolve the issue, but first the sellor did not care to respond to my E-mails and then upon Amazon,s intervention - the sellor acknowledged after two weeks that there is Warranty Card and Receipt and the item is New. Dear Amazon, I been proud to be your customer, but this Sellor has cheated me.
When I challenged that its 8-Years old and per the Manufacturer it needs upgrading and without the Receipt & Warranty Card, unless I pay $140. ( These cheap sellors advertise stating that item is New and in-fact its not.
I took it everywhere I went and just watched Cowboy Bebop and Firefly on it. You just drag and drop.
But I mean it didn't take much time to understand how it all works. It has it's own speaker, a stand, and is generally EASY to handle.
Well videos you have to convert first. Also the user interface takes a little getting used to.
I've had this product for about 3 years. It works like a portable hard drive.
My only complaint is that its a little bulky to take for a jog or whatnot.
I bought another one on the bay for 60 and it works fine. Like I said if we could have gotten all the source for the rom and added some of the fine software that exists for embedded linux it could have been a sweet deal. I built a AA battery adapter to extend the play time and recharge. Thus this product never reached it's potential.I use it to watch movies and listen to music when flying. It is outdated, but it does what it is supposed to. I have had this for a few years now. The sad thing here is that Iriver used linux to create this, but when challenged to provide the source the made a pretty weak effort. So like I said it works.
It is the best of the best. bought this for my son last year. He has had no problems with it and stilluses it.
