20GB Mpio HD-300

Portable and great looking

Pros: 20gb, FM tuner, Voice record, sleek, touch sensor

Cons: smudgy mirror front,no case that you can buy

MPIO HD 300 needs better documentation

Pros: Design, touch pad, sound, recording capabilities, price, appears as hard-drive.

Cons: Documentation really not ready for the impatient or inexperienced. Too sensitive touch-pad.

MPIO HD300 HAS SOFTWARE GLITCHES

Pros: size, price, design, touch-sensitive keys and scrolling function

Cons: software glitch causes player to freez up frequently

Tries to be an iPod competitor, unsuccessfully

Pros: Some neat features, radio, nice design.

Cons: Nice design does not always make up for lackluster functionality.

Bottom Line:
This is not for your average user, you need to be pretty sophisticated to use this. Read More

Not a bad 1st generation product, but flawed

Pros: FM Tuner, Line-in recording, same size as IPOD, pretty, great sound quality, external HD

Cons: Slow menus, bad scrolling, no documentation or support, pained playlist creation

Bottom Line:
Great concept, but doesn't deliver. Give it some documentation, good software to use with it, and some support and this thing would be fantastic. Read More

Good looks, good sound, but the software is really bad

Pros: Looks, robustness, Sound, external HD and good FM reception.

Cons: the Manual, their Internet Site, lack of Firmware updates, absence of support, upgrade utility

Bottom Line:
MPIO has developped a good piece of hardware, but supplies a really bad piece of software with it. That turns the device into an hard-to-handle monster. Read More
