Reviews of the RCA Lyra X3030 (30GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Thoughtful physical design; useful photo features; supports music and video from Windows Media services and Audible; useful built-in kickstand; removable battery; line-in A/V recording out of the box; lots of bundled extras.
The Bad: Limited to 30GB; no radio; non-intuitive menus; pricey; battery life for MP3 playback is weak.
The Bottom Line: The all-inclusive RCA Lyra X3030 is a solid video playback and recording device, despite its poorly designed menu interface. Yet there are still PVPs on the market that perform better.
Manufacturer: RCA
Part number: RDX3030
