the Dell DJ was definitely underestimated in battery life most people claim well over 3 hours more battery life than Dell claimed

The fact that you can only use a max of 2GB of storage towards data and that you can't go to another computer to upload/download files without software sounds very annoying to me. Other than that, this player looks damn slick. I'm not too crazy about the carbon's iPod-like metal backing which is prone to scratches. |

So for example, you can make it 4.5GB for music and 0.5GB for files and use it to play music or as a removable drive. When you "disable" the data partition, all data on it is erased. I was at first critical of this, but it seems to work ok, so no complaints here. |
