My dad is retired and a gadget freak. Recently he had to make a fiscally responsible decision to give up his Blackberry so I bought him one of these as a Father’s Day gift. He loves his but because I had some extra money I thought I’d get one too. This review is being written from the perspective of a simpleton who is not techno saavy at all. I barely knew what this thing was but I got one anyway. I’d been thinking about getting a laptop so I could get online while I’m on the road traveling.

I managed but through the whole process I felt very uncertain. As an mp3 player I LOVE it. I’ve never had or used mp3s and in that aspect I am so happy with this. Be prepared to be marginalized by eggheads and apple heads who will boast about how you paid too much, should get your mp3s for free elsewhere, shoulda got an iPhone or a Droid instead, etc. This mig
