Notes:

Manual has some funny English (as usual for such things)

No battery was included (not a big problem)

The build quality is a little cheap & plasticy - I would want to be careful with it and avoid dropping it (since the plastic and/or glass may shatter)

The USB extension cable is a nice extra

White earphones are good (reasonable quality, the retaining cord is shorted than the cable) and bad (a little tinny and may attract IPod thieves)

Nice 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)

The animation 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
