Query: Way ahead of it's time.

The Gigabeat's slick design and beautiful display are what first attracted me to purchase this device. I have had it for two and a half years and it is still working like a charm. Granted I do not use it as much as my other audio devices. Sound playback is accurate except for a minor static sound right before each new song. Video playback on the gigabeat's screen is truly jaw dropping. Problems: battery life is non existent. After the first month the battery just would not stay for more than two hours. As for media for the device it is hard to find anything to buy, and conversion software is few and far between. The good thing about this device though is I can still use it as an external hard drive!
