So far I really love this player! It is really small and light, even smaller and lighter than the iPod. The player functions as USB mass storage so you don't need any drivers. Transfers are blazingly fast as well. The body is aluminium and feels super high quality. The sound quality is stellar both un-eq'd and eq'd. It has fm radio and it can record fm. It can also record line-in and it has a line-out too. I've only had the player for like 3 days so these are first impressions but so far, there's been no glitches. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them...

look into using a higher ISO-setting on your digital camera - that way you'd be able to take less blurry shots!

Nice pics!

That looks like one sweet player (although I've never heard of the company before). I live in Canada, and I don't think it is available here. Ebay perhaps.

How's the remote?

Is the battery life claims true (14 hours)?

It looks to me like you have to have the docking station to connect to a PC. Is that true?

Where did you buy it from and for how much?

Yep, you can get it on ebay for 369.99$.

The remote is very nice. Not too big but big enough. The buttons are arranged in a logical order.

Battery life is closer to 12 hours.

The reason the pictures are a little blurry is because I didn't use a tripod. Even if my hands move the slightest bit, the picture is a bit blurry. I'll try to get better ones soon.

You don't need to have the dock to connect it to a pc. You do need an adapter, it comes with the m3 whether you get it with the dock or not.

I think it's the same as the dock basically but more portable. It has the connections for the charger, pc, line in, and line out.

And to the person who asked for where to get it in Australia. http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...Search+Froogle

2 or 3 of the listings there are sites in Australia.

Thats really ridiculous how theres no screen on the unit itself. its stupid that you have to carry the remote everywhere with you...bad design idea, this product won't last long...

Yes, right, tell that to users of the SlimX iRiver players. Those haven't been successful or anything.

It is the matrix!!! One of the unique features this player has it the ability to have short 5-6 sec. logos on startup. iAUDIO has made a few but you can also make your own!

You can check out more info on this feature here

I want to make one for Euro 2004 or soccer in general if I have time.

Well I mainly listen by cd's and not by singles or individual tracks so I don't see any problems with not have an LCD on the player's body. You can also load m3u files as well as create dynamic playlists. I have had no problems with the remote so far. I think the trade-off for getting a smaller player overall is worth it...at least for me.
