The screen size of 1.9" (220 x 176 pixel) is very poor and would make watching movies a waste of time.

Tesco are selling a nice 4gb one for £17.49 or £12.49 using £5 off code

Red that one is a bargain touch screen one for that price and it looks good

 

[Irishbliss]

The TSV looked good especially for the cost, personally I don't think you can beat an IPOD but the TSV AND others mentioned here look very good alternatives.

If you read the reviews on the currys web site you may figure why its this price....

Not a great unit and not a brand anyones heard of or is likely to hear of again

This one does not have good reviews on the currys site.. sound quality etc,... not what you would want from an MP3 player.. who is this brand? I have not heard of them?

I'm very tempted to get two of these for the kids for Christmas - have we decided if they are any good or not yet?:1:

 

[Pinkpussycat]

I was impressed by ease of use and ordered the pink Toots. I also loved the blue light around the scroll wheel. :getmecoat: I'm not bothered about it having a small screen as there's no way I would bother watching a movie on anything smaller than my tv anyway. PC:

er, they did say it's not for watching movies but Anthony Heywood did say it's ideal for watching cartoons on.

Some reviews (seems all good):

I resisted last night and for most of the day. Then I told myself if there was a red one left, I'd go for it.

Oh dear.

It does look nice though. And I like the idea of the FM Radio.

 

[tootsie]

I got a red one and a blue one, I'm not sure which child will get which, but I've had my fill of expensive ipods lasting one month over the warranty before dying, these seem to be perfect

 

[Lola Rose]

I've had a few MP3's in my time, starting with a Ventura one from Argos for £99.99. It had a huge memory but shortly after getting it I started downloading from ITunes. Unfortunately, because the format from Itunes was brand specific, I had to burn the music and reload it onto my computer to make it transferable to my Ventura MP3.

I bought other MP3 and eventaually thought 'blow it' - I'll get an I-Pod - an 160g!! I so wish I had gone for that in the begininng. It has totally revolutionalised my music and I now download books, films and TV shows which I watch.

I would buy this for a child's birthday but if you are looking for a serious MP3 -an I-Pod is the only way for me.

Hope this helps.
