A friend of mine just got it and it's the coolest music player I've ever seen. Thing has an FM reciever, a transmitter to play to ANY car stereo (auto scans radio stations and picks a freq that is not used by a local station, then tells you what to tune your radio to), a built in mic for recording memos, a line-in which, with the right adapter, you can hook a mic into for broadcast quality field recording. It's just plain kick ass.
