Eww God that thing is up there with the brown Zune!

Yeah.. sure ain't pretty :S

this thing looks like a generic Ipod.

Looks like a small touchpad in the center of the buttons. Could it have a point and click type of interface for files, media, or wi-fi?

Lol I have a 30 gig brown Zune, and I must admit, AOL's product looks just as bad if not worse!

looks like a cheap ipod with buttons instead of a click wheel.

One of those mp4 players made in China you see on ebay.

Not pretty at all. Looks like just another cheesy knock-off.

I like the Zune. I don't know why people don't. Straight forward, big screen, easy to navigate. The newer one is even cooler. Besides people, seriously, Mp3 players are, at the very highest compliment, a dime-a-dozen. As long as it has good functionality, great sound and more reliability than IPods. I was a Geek squad tech for a few months and saw IPods (all) come in for serious repair (i.e. hard disk failures, corrupt file systems, batteries dying too early, and the ever-popular super pliable scratched screens to the point you can't see the display) in the amount of 50-70 per week. Personally, Creative's are all-in-all, UNBEATABLE!

In as much as I loathe Apple, I think I might have to stick with their products in the genre of MP3 devices :(

Even though this thing looks craptastic i wonder if Apple will sue them for the general design. AOL needs to stick to messengers and DSL and their webpage.

Im guessing that one of the reasons they just bought Orb Networks as well, altough this has only just been integrated as beta into winamp i can see they will extend the platform further.

it may not b prety however the price tag is appealing.
