    CNET Review

    April 9, 2002

    The Good: Huge 20GB hard drive; first-rate sound quality; many choices for playing your music; FM radio; carrying case and belt clip; large, slick display.

    The Bad: USB 1.0 too slow for 20GB transfers; doesn't autosync to a PC's music collection; could be smaller; interface requires learning curve.

    The Bottom Line: A slow USB 1.1 connection and an ambitious yet confusing interface mar an otherwise fine hard drive-based MP3 player.

    Review Summary: Now it's been superseded anyway this was an interesting experiment, but the radio on later models has thankfully improved.
