Strengths: Beautiful screen, watch ripped dvd's, listen to mp3's or audio books with or with out headphones transfer pictures long lasting battery. You can copy any folder by right clicking.
Weakness: Size though not to bad, no stand, casing for the unit is not ready availble and very limited.
This is hands down the best of the best out there. The size which is a draw back to some is the right size for small hands. It is an entertainment center on the go. Perfect for kids to watch movies. Me to listen to mp3's and watch video's that my family does not like (Horror in my case). For conversion of movies DVDFab Platium fits the ticket and the Zen W is an option in the PVP ripping screen....
Strengths: big screen, load photo directly from CF; supports lots of video formats; plenty of features to keep you busy
Weakness: buttons are too small, manual is too simple, but all better than ipod. cannot be accessed as a drive on PC.
I've own 3 media players so far. First was old Archos recorder V2, crapy but get the job done, and it's inexpensive. I got myself an Ipod G5 last year because of all those market hypes. disappointed. It plays few video format, battery life sucks; It shows photos all right while transferring photo will take years; It's not only expensive, but keep you buying accessories. So, all that said,...
Strengths: nice, large screen with good speaker volume. Played most formats.
Weakness: software freeze up windows explorer. Have to use their software to copy files. Can't just use Explorer to drag and drop. Fast Forward or Fast rewind slow and no preview
this unit is kind of big. For now, it fit in all my winter coats' pockets nicely. I wish it come with a kick stand though. I did found a nice leather case with kick stand for under $50. I used it most to catch up on TV show. I had couple files with GMC won't play. But most will. It will save one bookmark for the last video file played. I wish it can store a couple more. Then again, that could...
Strengths: Regarding the plus points...... -> Its wider screen -> Ability to play most video file types
Weakness: Weakness....its quite bulky. It takes a few seconds to turn on... It takes infinite time to convert video to the right format that the player supports.
I bought this product mainly for watching movies/videos. And believe me....it was worth it! Its wider screen when compared to ipod and zune impressed me a lot. It makes maximum use of the available space for the display. At times, it does get stuck when i try to fast forward a movie....but i guess its difficult to get that many speed improving features into this mini package. Regarding some...
Strengths: Support for many MPEG-based formats (MPEG1/2, DivX, XVID) Good video battery life Standardized ports
Weakness: Poor button layout No video playlists or skipping to next/previous videos
I don't have any other Portable Media Players (PMPs) to compare this with, but I consider it worth it. I bought this PMP to keep myself entertained on my long flights. However, it has proven to be much more useful than that, in part thanks to it's good video codec support and the included AV cable. It makes it easy for my to take my collection of movies to watch on my friends' larger TVs or...
Strengths: Great picture quality, CompactFlash slot, quick forward skip on video
Weakness: Buttons are not convenient, Tivo files need to be converted, Poorly written instructions for beginners
I like this media player, in spite of its slight bulkiness. I wanted it mostly as a photo viewer and secondly as a video viewer. For that reaason, I can overlook a little bulk. You buy an item like this for its functionality, not to clip it to your arm to go jogging. Nonetheless, it will be hard to fit in a pocket during summer. I like the ability to stretch the video to fit the screen. Although...
Strengths: Plays a lot of formats divx 4/5 and xvid Sound Quality is good. a/v output for tv display of movies/photo/audio weight usb 2.0 compact flash/adapter capable brings power adapter
Weakness: size, kinda chunky, like psp, but not as long. Only records your own voice.
I i ordered this player through the pricegrabber link that sent me to zipzoomfly. Great service by the way. Once i ordered and i got the product. The box was very good. A lot of cushion that kept the player protected during travel. The bag is okay, could have been better, but similar to the ipod pouch. Very acceptable. The Wires were great. It had an earphones, a/v out cable, power adapter, usb...
Strengths: I love the large screen size and its very easy to use and 30 gb is plenty of space.
Weakness: The bulkiness of the player is what im not too fond of
Over all I couldn't wait to get this product and i got it at a great price. Hands down i'd pick this over the Ipod or ZUNE especially cuz if its larger screen size.
Strengths: Great screen, CF card slot, supports many video formats
Weakness: No kickstand, CF adapter for SD cards not included, awkward buttons, no video playlist
All in all I am very pleased with this unit; especially for the price compared to comparable units. The magnesium casing is not a fingerprint magnet and should be very durable. The screen is fantastic; videos look great, nice photoviewer as well. My main gripe is the lack of a kickstand. I purchased this unit mainly for watching videos when traveling, so no kickstand is a small problem (maybe...

Lots of Features. Poor software quality
Strengths: Microphone, custom backgrounds, a no-squint screen, flash cart compatibility, FM radio. And the ability to delete files without being connected. Removable battery.
Weakness: Buttons require fingernails to use. No firmware updates to fix the bugs- some of which make entire features like its version of shuffle, unusable. Bad software design. And it's huge.
I've had a 30 GB Vision W for over a year now. It's also my fourth MP3 player. My first with Creative. I bought it because I wanted the extra features Apple didn't provide with iPod. Namely the radio and the mic. My first impression wasn't happy. When I held it in my hand the first time I realized how large it was. Then I started adding music to it. First there's this "rebuilding" screen with a...
