Well, when the covers break its time to get a new phone

idk about wather proof, but at least to keep the slot covered from the dust, unlike sansa clip+. My modest nokia e63 has this nice covers that remains attached to the phone all the time

Yeah that's my concern also. After 1 week I've got tissue blocking my uUSB - it's still new DAP but already problematic...

[JamesMcProgger]

The original design was about 10+ hrs, but the design has been changed so you can expect it to last longer, but probably not going to double.

Is this for 192kbps mp3 or flac? If it is for flac, normally how long for 192kbps mp3?

It is just an early estimation. Till the firmware is stable, I don't think we can actually be sure about the run time difference between formats.

nooooooooo

 
I knew there was a catch, I thought these were perfect but i'm travelling a lot and I need long battery life of at least 20 hrs......
guess i have to go with cowon again which of course is not a bad thing but I would've loved to buy this nifty DAP according to what I read about them before I heard about battery life.
I hope it'll be better in the final version i'll keep my fingers crossed

It will be fine as long as it can output 5V via mini USB.

I have a Sanyo Mobile Booster which is 5000mAh and it works fine outputting 5V via USB, a great device for travellers really.
