Title: Deal killer - Proprietary built-in non-replaceable battery
Product review: I was keenly interested in this player because of the microSD expansion capabilities, nevertheless that feature is outweighed by the proprietary built-in non-replaceable battery. A AAA battery would be far better since spares can be carried and the unit's life isn't tied to the rechargeable battery system, the achilles heel of so much equipment. I made the mistake of buying a different mp3 player with a built-in rechargable...has the battery life of...well a dead battery. How much equipment do you own from tools to toothbrushes that has been been rendered useless by the death of a built in rechargable battery system? If the same equipment used standard AA or AAA rechargables, all you have to do is get new batteries and you could buy replacment batteries cheaply anywhere.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
