I used to own a 1st Generation 30GB Zune until it was stolen from me. I loved all its features except the fact that I had to used the Zune software to sync my files and that didnt go to well. So i decided to try the latte iVu media player. I've had it a couple of weeks now and here's what I think on the features that were important to me.
PROs:
-Drag and drop files: I love the fact that you can organize your files in the order that you want in folders that you want. Everything gets transferred unlike my Zune which would skip files for no reason. Also there is no software to install.
-Use your current media player to sync files: If you have a large music library you can use your current media manger software (if it recognizes portable devices) to sync with the iVu. I currently use Winamp and it works perfectly.
-Videos: The iVu supports .flv files so you can transfer you favorite clips from Youtube straight to the iVu . However, this did not work for all of my .flv files so I use a smal avi converter. The file size more or less remains unchanged and the resolution and sound quality is great.
-Digital camera: I love it!!! Even though it's only 2MP the quality is ok and it's convenient for those candid moments. In addition to still pictures it can record video with sound. You can't listen to music and use the camera at the same time though.
-FM Transmitter: I don't really use this but I tried it out. Work great and doesn't have to be near the receiving radio.
-Customizeable Equalizer: Several Presets and User defined equalizer.
Cons:
-Auto off timer: I tried this setting out. But even when I was listening to music it would still shut off. Idk if they fixed this glitch in their firmware updates though.
-The buttons/user interface: the knobs are a little small and takes some time to get accustomed to how to navigate cause you have to press and hold several little buttons. But as I said it takes getting used to cause I can use it while it's in my pocket. Check out the demo vid on YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQKBoJ6yfl8
-The headphones: they dont keep a lot of external sound out. They are very comfy but you have to turn the volume way up which kills the battery.
OTHER FEATURES I havent tried or don't care about:
Favourites, Deleting files, Calender, Timer, e-Book, Voice recorder.
Overall I am satisfied with my purchased, a media player. If you want games go buy a PSP. All IPOD & Zune have are big brand names so you pay more for the same thing. The Latte iVu has potential to be a serious competitor. Apple and Microsoft better watch out.
