Excellent Portable Music and Video Player
Pros
Great display, nice size, good controls, built-in speaker, full accessories.
Cons
Discontinued by 04 series ((404, 504, 604). But that's the way of the world.

I have the 100 Gig model. Got it on Ebay for $400. Its display is beautiful. On with the review...
Display: 4" TFT LCD. Perfect size for sitting in front of you about 2' and watching. It's wide screen is great for DVD extracted movies. Motion on playback is solid and smooth. The action sequences in Mission Impossible III are great. Explosions and firefights look great.
Size: Just barely big enough for the display and controls. I don't think they could have made it a bit smaller. Fits in pocket but not protected adequately like that so I use a small camera case, as that's padded and better than the little one that came with it.
Controls: Have tactile feel. Nice layout for use with right thumb. Takes very little practice to get used to multiple functions.
Inside: Back panel is easily removeable and doubles as battery pack. After removal there is a Hitachi 2.5" laptop HD.
Works great for DVDs but I haven't tried recording functions yet. Integrates well with WMP.
Accessories: Includes AC charger, earphones (ok), docking station (DVR function and playback thru TV), AV cables, remote.
