They are a little different now. They are still quite similare, however the whole thing is rounded off a little.
So far, i haven't been very impressed with the FM reception :-( I was hoping it would be better than the cheap FM arm-band radio I bought, but I was wrong.
The Mp3 part seems quite good though. I've already got a decent collection of mp3's and also have a ripping software that I use to rip new CDs anyway.
As an FYI, I've found they have a different firmware that makes the device look like an external disk drive. If you install this firmware, you cannot use the Managment software for it anymore (unless you put the old firmware back on it).
I went ahead and installed that firmware. So, when I plug the player in it just opens an explorer window and I can drag/drop copy/paste files onto it.
I wore the player on my arm last night and other than having ear-bud problems the player itself is sooo light that it was easy to run with. I need to find a nice set of headphones
