Great player
I bought this player in Singapore last week and it is absolutely brilliant. The point made about interface in the review might be valid but only to some degree. Resistive touch screen is much more precise compared to a capacitive one. You need to apply slightly more pressure but it actually works much better compared to my wife's iphone. The seller told me there also was a firmware update and mine has the latest one on it already so maybe that's why mine works fine. Anyway - great sound quality, it comes with really decent earphones plus you get extras such as FM radio and the slot for memory cards.
