    It looks like they really had to stretch to find 5 reasons.

    The article is nothing more than an extended commercial for a range of new MP3 players, and at the end of the day, what conclusion do they come to?

    Quote: "While not ideal for some niche activities, it's still hands down the best-designed MP3 player in the world."

    So did either the person who submitted the article, or the editor who approved it actually bother to read the damn thing?
