Anyone used one

Got one reserved for £116 at the local Currys, however I don't have to pick it up.

I have noticed that you need to buy masses of plugins to get it working properly *sigh* which pushes the price up, also the hard drive is smaller than the 32gb of flash memory my Cowon D2 has in it - but that an be changed at a later date. Worst of all though, doesn't support flac.

That'll give my servers real-time mp3 streaming a bit of a workout - converting on the fly.

Battery life seems ok, screen looks great.

It's not going to be used that much, possibly in the gym once I'm able to go again and generally around the flat streaming video/audio - once I've bought the pluging to enable AC3 and the web plugin....
