In 2004 or so they came out in 1.5GB, 4GB, 5GB and 8GB storage capacities. Long time ago I got the black 5GB version. Excellent portable player, I put some of my best albums @256kb mp3s. great SQ, great battery life. I could never justify to spend more money to get an iPod, Zune or any other DAP. I consider it the iPod, Zune, Sony and Sansa killer. I'm going to give it even more life by replacing its 5GB microdrive for a 32GB compact flash card. With this upgrade still kills anything on the market today for a DAP to listen with ear buds or small headphones.
What I like about it:
1-) SQ is great, better than iPod, Zune, Sansa, etc (better than expected)
2-) Can play while charging battery
3-) While I have it in my pocket, I can manually adjust volume, skip, repit, tracks
4-) Battery life is great
5-) Radio and Recorder work great
6-) Folder friendly
7-) Works like a USB flash drive (I can even store other files, this is very useful. I cannot do that with other players)
8-) Still works like new today (My son has gone thru 3 iPods and 2 zunes ha, ha, ha)
9-) Very reliable little player.
