So, how big is it, anyway?
|
Smaller than my iPaq 1945 in height and width but a bit thicker.
Exact dimensions from the box are 2.8" x 4.5" x 0.9" - 6.8 oz
Probably it's biggest downside right now. Before I got the in car charger I had to bring it in to charge about twice a week. This includes about 1 hour of playing time per day and the rest on standby, with a sync operation every other day. Since I only use this in my car, and now have the lighter adapter it's not an issue for me.

Tactile feedback on the buttons?
|
Buttons are simple rubber pads with a good feel (you know when you've clicked them and they're not hard to press).
The UI is relatively easy to navigate and has improved significantly with the two ROM upgrades I've gotten since I opened the package.

Readability of the backlit display at night?
|
It is an djustable, blue back-lit LED. No problem reading at night.
Some other cool features:
- FM band scanner that will pick the best frequency for broadcasting to the car radio.
FM power is adjustable.
WiFi hotspot locator (given that this thing has an XScale 200 mHz CPU I'm wondering what sorts of fun stuff they may end up doing with the WiFi feature).
Car start/stop autodetect (supposed to know when the car is running and start/stop playing. I've only had mixed results)
