From the specs it looks like a good mp3 player. You have a choice of 2, 4 and 6GB. It plays videos, music and pictures. Twenty hours of battery life and a 1.8” TFT color screen.

It will work with Rhapsody, eMusic, Napster, Urge, Wal-mart and Yahoo! Music. It will not work with iTunes. Until someone besides Apple has hardware that works with iTunes I will stick with my Apple iPod.
