Excellent – I've had my 512meg version for approx 2 years. Used daily at work in an environment where it has got wet from rain, received light blows and occasionally caught up pulling the USB part from it's body, I can say that it takes more punishment than others I have heard about.

I like the fact it takes an AAA battery, and even the cheap Coles Reliance brand lasts me approx 12hrs.

I mostly use it for the FM tuner which does well with reception and doesn't pick up machinery interference Small, good screen, great lasting quality and a exceptional FM tuner, have to hold button to switch off avoiding accidental swtich off No mute button.
