I didnt realize you can return it back to woot. Was it simple? I think I'll shoot them an email today and see if I can send mine back as well. Lack of *BASIC* functionality makes this device a nice paperweight.
*MP3/Video player needs to REMEMBER what and where the last song/movie played. Without this, long audio books (the reason I bought this machine) is pretty annoying to get back to where I left off. *Not being able to turn off the machine on the fly is minor, but quite annoying. As it is right now, I have to return to the main menu to exit. It would be nice to just exit right in the middle of a movie/song/book and be able to return to that exact position when I turn it back on. *Inability to display long filenames is going to be a problem, for me anyway. Once again I use this for audiobooks and rather NOT have to rename 500+ files. *More DIVX files are not playing on the machine even though it plays fine on windows media. Don't know why.
Have you guys looked at the XBOX Media Player? It is a really nice piece of software and compatible with pretty much everything I've thrown at it. Best part is its OPEN SOURCE.
Black cases are a nightmare! They show smudges, fingerprints, everything. I have a black cell phone, and cannot wait for my contract to expire so I can go back to silver on my next phone. Funny, people with black media devices complain and wish they had silver. I guess the real winner hasn't been found yet.
Heres what I've noticed after an hour or so playing with it:
* First impression was this thing is big. Any size reduction would be awesome. Even an all black unit might be nice. * Microphone jack - a little tempermental * Interface is a ugly, this would probably change with software/firmware upgrade. I'm looking forward to having/making custom skins. * Long filenames get truncated. Maybe have the filename scroll across or something. * MP3 Player is bland. No visuals, no skins, no nada. Just a barebones MP3 player. More options would be welcomed. * Video Player needs support for subtitles. I could not select my .SSA file or anything. Automatic selection if it exists would be nice. * Aspect ratio, some of my movies are stretched weirdly. Maybe its just the movie. * Allow shuffle play, album art, etc etc. * Not a big fan of the 4-way controller. Its even worst when you put it in the case.
