[QUOTE="justsayyes, post: 569763, member: 41915"] I've had mine since early November. I replaced the first unit as it had a faulty screen - which Apple's firmware could not fix and they NEVER admitted to being poorly manufactured! - and the new unit works fine. It's UI failings are typical of any touch screen based device but are amplified by a lack of playback control buttons for skip, ff, rewind, pause and play. Quite infuriating at first, but since I listen to music mostly while trapped on a plane in economy class, not a deal killer. Non-plane use finds me using it on WiFi since it's, um, liberated. Without being liberated, I would have returned it due to its inherent UI issues and being a hella-clumsy thing to cart about just to watch the occasional video on a 4" screen. My .02 cents... BTW, sounds fine with Etymotic ER-6 in-ear headphones, especially with a custom EQ setting that bumps the bass a tiny bit. I think, but don't know, that flash based players all sound poor compared to HDD based players. No idea why if they do but that is my observation. [/QUOTE]
