This is one bad*** player hahaha! I used to have the zen vsion w but that one was too bulky and so i traded up to this baby! I am so frikkin happy! W-fi capability is amazing, sound is great, screen is WOW you will not believe it until you see it!

The price is a little ridiculous considering the fact you need to buy plug ins for it as well, but I got mine used off Ebay so whatever! The battery life is standard. It works for me, but if you get on WI-FI a lot you might need a battery pack!
