Negative Positive
Title: LISTEN to the Negative Reviews!
Review: Like too many others I thought I could dodge the quality control bullet, but I wasn't that lucky. After carefully following instructions to calibrate and charge the battery, the unit worked for about 45 minutes before it started randomly powering down. Also (though it wouldn't have been a deal killer if everything else worked), the display is truly difficult to read. All that said, it does sound great.I'm not making the same mistake twice, so I'm going to give the Nomad II MG a try. It's expensive for only 64MB of memory but it comes with a docking station, judging by reviews the FM tuner seems to work better than on the Intel (and you can record from FM directly into memory), and it's expandable using standard SmartMedia cards (unlike the Rio 800). Since 128MB cards will see significant price drops soon, you'll be able to expand the Nomad to a total of 192MB for not much more money.
