I have one of those. Nothing really special to write home about and I would never pay the full retail price for one. Mine's used mostly for watching movies/animes on long trips (the battery life is suprisingly good) or being hooked up to the TV so I can watch animes without having to burn a hundred CDs. The rest of the time I use it as an external hard drive.

Pros:
100 gbs
good battery life (for the size of the screen)
decent resolution (not DVD quality but for a screen that size it's hard to tell)
remote for when watching on a TV

Cons:
Price!!!

only plays AVI files so far (a lot of my files are rmvb

)
size (this is not meant to be pocket portable)

I've never used it to listen to music. It's just too big to carry around as a DAP. But if you're willing to deal with the bulk 100gb of music is not bad.

Screen is too pixelated?!?!? I own one of these and think its awesome as far as resolution goes. You probably watched a video that was converted poorly. The only downside to this beast is no line out.
