picture I made of myself with the minicam included in the player ...
player with the cam lens out ...
cam lens in ...
protective cover thing that came with the player ...
Short review:
- Manual sux big time. They should get someone who speaks english to write the english manual. I mean, they managed to misspell the word "english" for heaven's sake.
- Installed software and drivers, and it didn't work right away. Comp found player, software didn't see player though. Worked after a while though, dunno how I got it fixed.
- First thing I did was installing the latest UMS firmware on it. Now the software for it doesn't work - instead the whole thing acts like a USB stick, which I'm fine with.
- ear plugs that shipped with it sucked. I'm using my own good ones, which were about as expensive as the player itself. Seem to work fine with radio reception too.
-/+ controls are fiddly, but with the size and number of buttons, I don't see how it could've been done any better either.
+ it works pretty nice. Surprisingly nice for someone who used to use portable CD players ...
+ very good sound.
+ quickly boots up and shuts down.
+ good interface, once you get used to it a little.
+ small, but bright and easily readable display.
+ firmware upgradable - this thing didn't support ogg files when it was first released, afaik.
To summarise, this thing rocks. (:
