This has got to be one of the best non-ipod players in the market. The Microsoft Portable Media Center UI is very intuitive and simple to use. In fact, in some ways it is better than the ipod UI. Sound quality is pretty good. That is one area this PMP scores over the ipod. Also, it integrates well with WMP 11 and Media center.I have not used this player with Vista so cannot write about its...
Strengths: Get intergration with Windows Media Player
Weakness: No accesories, can't find a case I like.
I have a Windows Media Center PC and wanted a way to watch the shows I've recorded on the road and this player works great for that! Beautiful screen… CNet said it was grainy 3.5 inches… compared to what? Looks great to me. It doesn't matter how great a player is if there noting to load on it and because the Gigabeat is a “plays for sure” device AND supports Media Center syncing I have...
Strengths: Does everything I want it to and more. Easy to use. I do not need Player 10 to download video and music to this player. Syncs perfectly to WMP11.
Weakness: Everything that the new model Gigabeat does such as built-in FM radio receiver, smaller form factor; control knob is a bit awkward to use but by no means do these issues make this a bad player.
I bought this for my children so we will see if this can withstand the test of handling and road use. The selection control toggle is a bit awkward to use due to it's design (size and placement buried inside a cup-shaped housing shroud) but does the job. Below the toggle are the MS Windows back and browser buttons which are simple and easy to use. Windows Portable OS is fast and handles the job...

Toshiba's gigabeat S wowed us with its impressive feature list, slick UI, and sleek design. Now the company is going bigger with the V series, which sports a larger 3.5-inch screen for $50 more. Unfortunately, we weren't quite as impressed...

Great PMC for people on a budget
Strengths: Big 3.5" screen that is not grainy, as per CNET's review, easy-to-use interface (support 7+ languages), 30GB Hard Drive can hold a ton of video and music, no-hassle software and competitive pricing.
Weakness: Battery life is not as advertise, screen "stays on" when playing mp3 and idle, support only wmv video files, lack of OEM accessories, and cannot charge through usb.
Two months ago, I chose this PMC over other because of price alone. However, this little beast provide much more than expected. Sound quality is good over the speaker, all the positives listed above, and the photo album is not too shabby. Minor complains: The control knob was made probably to compete with the IPod control, which fall short. As mention, the battery life doesn't last as long as...
