 Smart, Small, Audiorific November 25, 2008
Very small and fun to use once you know how to operate the different buttons. Great sound, file system is a little funky. don't buy for video but for music and audio books it is great.
Player is Great. FLAC! Tech Support WORST EVER! November 5, 2008
I've really enjoyed this player, great sounding (using shure in ear buds), very portable, mac compatible, etc.
However, as of lately, the player has been acting erratically, the buttons suddenly becomes unresponsive, the player starts to go nutz and browse by itself or scroll rapidly by itself. I've tried resetting the unit with no avai, finally contacted tech support, and this is the worst support I've received:

 Great sound with fantastic features October 27, 2008
I enjoy the iAudio very much. The sound quality with a good set of headphones is excellent. I like the feature where you can record with line in. The only item I wish it would include is being Audible capable so I can listen to audible books.
Great MP3 player October 21, 2008
Purchased this mp3 player about 5 months ago, have had absolutely no problems what so ever. Great sound, excellent battery life. The player itself is very small so its great for use at the gym.
 The Stephen Hawking of digital audio players.. September 12, 2008

Like Stephen Hawking, this player is brilliant but trapped in an uncooperative body. The ONLY reason to buy this player is for the unreal battery life. If you're someone that needs to be untethered as much as possible, this is the player to have. Short of a player that uses disposable batteries, the iAudio7 is in a class of it's own. The manufacturer claims the battery life to be 50-60 hours (Cowon says both in it's literature). Real-world battery life is 40+ in my experience. This includes fast forwarding, navigation, turning on and off, loading and removing files and so on. The sound quality is excellent and overall fit and finish is very good. It supports a number of formats including video formats. Now the downside. As good as this player is, the user-interface is far from class leading. The form factor is just too small as far as I'm concerned. As small as it is, it feels chunky. My daily player is an Insignia Pilot. It has 2X the surface area but is half the thickness. When the Pilot is in my pocket, it disappears. When the iAudio7 is in my pocket, I'm always aware of it. It's like a little brick. Much better to stay with a form factor like the Pilot, Nano and Zune for example that have a lot more surface area but are about half as thick. This also alows for a display human eyes can actually read without magnification. The UI is just awful. Given the size of the player, compromise is inevitable. Regardless, the designers made a few major errors in my opinion. The touch sensitive controls are too sensitive. Even with the latest firmware which was supposed to address this issue, it's far too easy to over shoot what you're doing. Small buttons or a smooth four way rocker switch (ie. the Rio Carbon) would have been a far better choice given the size of this player. Lastly, the firmware is far from intuitive. I've always been able to jump in and figure these things out quickly with little time reading. In this case, the manual is poorly translated and not entirely accurate. For example, I dare anyone to try setting a bookmark (for the first time) and/or setting a bookmark and then returning to the bookmark without at least a half hour of futzing, reading and trial and error. Bottom line: fantastic battery life, excellent format support and sound quality. Unless you absolutely need a player with this battery life, there are many better alternatives.
