Pros Price, 4Gb capacity, no need for supplied software on most computers

Cons Slow transfter speed

I purchased this mp3 player to listen to inspirational music during my weekly prayer hour at church. The sound quality is good and it is very easy to sync your music to it. I use Windows Media Player instead of the program it came with (Rhapsody, I believe). It is difficult... Read full review »

Cons No Camera Flash<br>No GPS chip

Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Apple iPod Touch 4G to replace my old and existing 2G. The 2G was a great machine and served me well, but with only 8GB of storage capacity my song library was becoming very limited and I knew it was time for an upgrade. It also didn’t bug me that the 4G was better... Read full review »
