This is my first MP3 device, so perhaps my expectations were not realistic for this price point. The Latte iV 8GB player does have some nice features, which other users have already covered. However, in my opinion, the iV has two irritating flaws: from Amazon.com The buttons that controled the volume level also changed the track that was playing depending on how a seperate button was toggled. Sometimes it did not work at all or would change the track instead of changing the volume and sometimes the volume control would stick cranking the volume way up or down. I suspect the latter was a defective switch the rest was just a bad design. there where several other design flaws in the interface. from Amazon.com I used to own a 1st Generation 30GB Zune until it was stolen from me. I loved all its features except the fact that I had to used the Zune software to sync my files and that didnt go to well. So i decided to try the latte iVu media player. I've had it a couple of weeks now and here's what I think on the features that were important to me. from Amazon.com I have been a Samsung fan for a long time and I always tend to buy the Samsung products if there is not much of the price difference. But, for the MP3 player, I decided to try the other ones since the price point for the Samsung MP3s are very high. I gave 5 stars because of the several advanced features on this latte. -Builtin fm transmitter: The frequency is not pre-set to the certain channel. from Amazon.com A great player, with great software. Only thing I can't figure out so far is how to create multiple favorite playlists. from Amazon.com Following are the areas which I like: Size, fit and finish, screen resolution, features(lots and useful), drag and drop file transfer. I did not like the interface. from Amazon.com I have been a Samsung fan for a long time and I always tend to buy the Samsung products if there is not much of the price difference.
