Oh god... this again.

Embarrassing, really.

Meh

This is pretty cool since it has the Android Market. (Google Play)

If only it had better than Android 2.3 on it.

Ipods out, androids in!

ah, there it is....where's my roomba?

woot staff is going to lunch

Is this capacitive touch? Definitely getting a few for the kids if so. Add the Market and it becomes a nice little game machine.

If we keep letting the Androids power everything, they are bound to go bad eventually! Did nobody see Aliens?!

I don't want "Philips Songbird" proprietary software... I just want to drag and drop my music files through Windows. Is that too much to ask?

I'm sorry but I will never buy another Philips product again after several breakdowns and the amount of Philips refurbs on here. What bloody Hhell is this?

with all that cell phones have today, does anyone use things like this? i can watch movies, youtube, netflix, listen to music, all from my phone. do i need another thing clunking in my pocket?

Why is there such a LAG between Wootalyzer displaying the next woot and woot site updating to the next woot. Wootalyzer is usually much quicker (~30 seconds) than F5'ng in the browser.

Does this affect scoring a Bunnies Ogling Carrots As if wootalyzer is jumping the gun b4 the site causing a lock-out?

Great for kids to young for an actual cellphone and parents to cheap for an iPod Touch.

And why would I need this if I have a Smart phone?

Clearly, the woot writers are off their leash today :-)

We only have to worry about that if the Androids were the A-2 model.

or iRobot?

Weak. 480x320 screen, poor viewing angle, limited to Android 2.3.

not familiar with this product, but on my android phone I have the amazon cloud player app. love it. syncs all music purchases from amazon automatically, and can store up to 5Gb of your own music on the cloud drive for free.

+1 for the Writer

$156 on Amazon

Biggest complaint seems to be the battery life, which is only rated at 4 hours for video playback.

wootlyzer runs off the rss feeds which come before the site updates

thanks for your comments on this device.
I don't trust Philips either.
and for the size & features I wouldn't pay more then 50 since I can buy a cell phone for 99 NIB.
and put a 32gb card in it.

I so miss the good old woot days.

Not all of us want to pay a gazillion dollars for a data plan, so we stick to cell phones that are just phones. Also - *gasp* - there are some people who don't feel the need to even have a cell phone. So yes, there is still a market for items such as these. No, you don't need one if you have a phone that streams video, plays music and irons your clothes for you.

Bought this for $89.99 off Woot a month or so ago. So far not very impressed. Slow performance and poor battery life. Would not recommend even at 90 bucks, maybe around 70.

Edit: I got the 8 gig but still... not impressed

$180 on NewEgg.

Wow. That description. Clearly some unresolved Freudian issues in the Woot team. :-)

Bought the 8 gig version of this for my son (16 years old)from Woot a few months back. He loves it, like it in fact much better than the iPod Touch it replaced.

Just bought this one for my daughter's birthday coming up.

EDIT: get this and a Spotify subscription and you have a vast catalog of music at your beck and call.

Irons clothes? i gotta get that!

WOW, It was a woot off it would have been good to know earlier, to bad the site was down for hours.

Will this work with my Acme Garden Plow?

edit: Wait... wait... come back to me. I can do better.

Yes, it apparently is. I don't know how apple managed to get the masses to accept the takeover of their music library, but that was the beginning of the end of sensible music transfer.

Need to update the wootoff theme music:

Some android mp3 player with a weird ass design, couldn't pay me to buy...

Yes it is capacitive.

I stepped away from my desk twice today, both times I missed a brigade of commandos. Sad face.

What a weird woot off. First no comments, happening 2 days after the last one, and 2 bags? At least this media player gets things back on track to a "normal" woot off. Good old familiar media player..makes you feel at home.
