Disappointed! design is extremely disappointing and not user friendly since the navigation is right at the base of the item which doesn't allow for easy holding and navigating through the menu with a single hand. The software recommends converting AVI or other formats to mp4 so the device can play them - but not all files play after conversion. The MP4 that I downloaded from youtube play directly on ipod but with sony you need to convert them or encode them or something coz the format is still mp4. The device is also very slim - so much so that it can easil slide off your lap or leg if ur in a car. Got the screen scratched that way on Day 2 in the car. The ear phones don't come with sponge covering so they keep popping outta ur ears which is extremely annoying! Sony should have given the in-ear type ear phones with the product. May 6, 2010
mpeg-4 it cant open or read most mpeg-4 format... that's the only downside... i thought that the problem was fixed thats why i bought one... October 23, 2009
