Notes:
Funny English on the back, just have to quote it:
CAUTION: Please refer to manual before use. Thunping not allowed an don't put in high temperature or moisture environment.
The build quality is a little cheap & plasticy (it's so small and light) - I would want to be careful with it and avoid dropping it (since the plastic and/or glass may shatter). What would be good is a little pouch to keep it safe.
The USB cable is very important - without it you won't be able to connect the player to your PC - make sure you don't loose it.
Black earphones are OK (reasonable quality, a little tinny but only work on one side)
Nice blue backlight - it should not really come on with the HOLD function but it does, which means that the battery could be drained more quickly, even in 'HOLD' mode.
The player only requires a single AAA battery which is good (possibly uses an inverter to beef up the voltage) - a single cell means that it's light and compact and having a AAA is better than relying on a lithium coin-like watch battery, since AAAs are easier to come by and can be rechargeable.
The 3 start animations and in-sync-lyrics are nice touches (much better than my old MP3 player, which will remain nameless to save face for both the manufacturer and myself).
Two songs are included - "Auld Lang Syne" by Leo Sayer and "You're the best thing" by 911
To conserver power and get the most out of your batteries:
Exploring the interface more shows how feature packed the player is:
There are several sub sections to areas which aren't shown for clarity.
Overall, it seems like good value for money.
Here is the icon that appears in the "My Computer" area:
Here's what was on the memory to begin with:
