iRiver PMP-120 20 GB Hard Drive Portable Media Player

Good product, terrible company

Strengths: Low price, decent battery life, light weight, easy to hold

Weakness: Screen scratches easily, bulky, video files needed to be converted to a smaller resolution and compatible format (takes up to 2 hours for a single video) using WMP, poor viewing angle

Great Device Overall

Go go go Iriver

Strengths: Just as good as Ipod Video, a lot of features and better sound quality

Be warned - you will NOT get a broken device repaired

Strengths: When it does work, it is great.

Weakness: Some parts are poorly designed - very frail. Device subject to random crashes, reboots, and even loss of all data.

After about 6 months, the device stopped working, including having the frail tab that holds the battery fall off. But even so, device would power up and then reboot. After 4 months (that is not a typo) that included about 40 phone calls, emails and faxes, with NO response from iRiver America support, I researched and found the company doing their promotion. Contacted them, told them about this...
