Strengths: Small, intuitive

Weaknesses:

Summary: I have had this player for about a week now and have been really impressed with it. It is extremely small and very easy to use. I was trying to decide between this and the new iRiver Clix2, and decided on this based on the fact that it was ~$75 cheaper. My wife has the original Clix and I really think this player compares favorably in every way.Personally, I don't care at all about video on these things so the screen size doesn't bother me at all. I read another review (at CNet) that complained about the joystick feeling cheap - but I don't think that's true at all. Actually, the joystick increases the on-handed usability over players like the Clix, which almost require two hands to work correctly (although I really like the Clix interface).I haven't run into any problems with the battery life yet, but I'm hoping to get at least the rated 15 hours out of it. If I could ask for one improvement on this little device it would be to increase the battery life.
