    This media player is an excellent purchase. Does so many things when connected to the wifi that any other media player won't do. It's almost like a tablet!

    I bought this as a gift for a 9 year old child. It looks like an iPod yet was much less money. Good product and great price

    This is a good basic mp3 player for someone who is not tech savy. Best for older generation. Is just a basic player, not like an Ipod no games, apps etc.

    This product is returned. Loses charge SO fast. Hard to figure out how to navigate for me(dedicated APPLE user here) and not worth the cost.

    I gave this to my niece and it broke right away. Took it back to Best Buy and they restored it to factory settings but it quit working again so it was returned. The keyboard would not accept any letters! Best Buy was great, this player was a piece of junk!

    This is good for a pre teen who wants what a phone has without the data plan. However the free text app is a pain and works only part of the time. The best part is being able to let them get apps so they don't keep using your cell phone to play them.

    Product is a good alternative for higher priced players. Allows my son good use for music and email. Only regret is that there is not a good case that I know of to protect it.

    Was looking at iPods and decided to check this out instead. Already have iPhone, just wanted an alternate for music that wouldn't drain my phone battery. Does its job and haven't had any issues with it at all.

    I have always been an android user this was half the cost of a Ipod and thought it would be suitable for my needs. Downloading auido books and music I was complete wrong. The first night I had it the screen started pixelating and the operating system was very slow. Brought it back bought and Ipod touch.

    The battery life is the worst. If it was for the fact that NOBODY, I mean not even the manufacturer who "don't sell the components separately" I would have kept it if I had a spare battery.
