Accu is the strongest pro

I've the 4GB model and I can second that the accu is the strongest point, together with the absence of really annoying detailbugs in the firmware. (IOW the product is actually finished) Not only how long it can play on a charged accu, but also that it doesn't seem to unload when turned off. (I didn't use it for 6 weeks, and it came up still fully charged).

The battery lifetime thing is more important since when on holiday I don't bring laptops (being glad to actually be free of it), so charging via USB is difficult and you can't simply pop into a shop to pick an extra pack of batteries.

The updating thing I also noticed. Mine is only about half full yet, (1.6GB) and it is still bearable.

I have a radio model and it works fine, but only FM.
