Well, I love mine!

pros:

• tiny
• light (22g)
• excellent interface for a headless player (switch on to resume playback, switch on with no headphones for voice recording, led feedback is well thought out)
• if you like aluminum you'll like the design (not only beautiful and pleasant to handle, but it doesn't have unnecessary chamfers or bevels, so if you cinch down on a lanyard in the loop, the edge of it actually holds tight, which is great for running)
• no glitches, no unpredictable behaviour, it just works

cons:

• battery life of only 4 hours (likely decreasing in a few years)
• quirky charging/data cable that is different from iPod Shuffle cables
• not waterproof
• sound quality of a cheap fm radio (on par with the cheapest of players in the world)
• very slow storage speed
• voice recording is of poor quality, mono, noisy, and easily clipped
• voice recording delay of about 9 seconds
