It also has a vivid 3.5-inch LCD for playing your favorite video footage on the go and a TV-out for displaying video and images through a television or display.

4 out of 5 stars Great Media Player for the Price.......2007-09-24

I purchased the PMC-120 in July 2007. It's very easy to use and there was plenty of storage space for me to store the material I wanted. There are over 2100 songs and 30 videos on my player with 8GB of space remaining. I was able to purchase it for a hundred bucks, so that made it that much more enjoyable. I would give the PMC-120 a five star rating, but it is to dependent on Windows Media 10. Maybe I-River can come up with a format that allows the PMC-120 to be able to sychronize with Windows Media 11 or higher? The video quality is excellent, and it is user friendly. Their tech support is decent, but they try to help you through any problems that may occur with the PMC-120. When you get your device there will be around 18GB on it. I'm thinking of getting the nieces and nephews one for Christmas or birthdays. It's a little bulky, but I'm pleased with the purchase. It normally sells for over $500.00, so you should hurry up and land one. If you want to waste your money, purchase an IPOD. Whenever I take a road trip I hook up the PMC-120 to the I-River FM Transmitter, and it's music non stop. The PMC-120 has a car charger, but it doesn't come with it. I bought my charger for $12.00 off of E-Bay.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty dang good.......2007-08-18

I bought this product last week and found it to be simpily amazing there were only a few cons.
1. slightly bulky
2. case is ummm well i cant spell atrocious but thats close enough
But the pros greatly outnumber the cons
1. massive storage
2. large 3.5 in screen
3. durable(i mean people are saying it breaks if you drop it duh drop an ipod it wont just break it shatters)
4. great battrie life 14 audio 5 video(and if your a music junkie like me i bought a spare battrie)
5. easy to control,buttons are easy to understand
All in all a great product if you like movies and music with 20 gigs i currently have 17 movies on it with about 5 gigs left for music completly awsome although not quite small enough to fit in pocket if your a girl guys we have no problem remember bulge is good. Its not quite a five but most defiantly not a 4. So the you have it i recomend this to people who dont mind a little bulk for a little buck ha ha i made a funny.... man im wierd

1 out of 5 stars I wish I could pick zero stars for this piece of junk!!.......2007-01-14

Unfortunately, when I bought this thing it was new on the market, so the horror stories that are seemingly abundant now weren't around to warn me off back then. Needless to say, I have been plagued by problems with my pmc-120 from quite early on. My pmc has since totally died and despite testing with new batteries etc, turns on but does not respond.... Rubbish!! considering I paid $300+ this is unacceptable.

To add insult to injury, iriver North America has not responded to my emails. Therefore, the warranty I paid for is effectively useless.Please don't buy this product. There are other portable media centers out there, like the toshiba gigabeat and the DreamEo, but I'm really not sure if they're any good either!! Like others here, I am doing my utmost to warn people away from making the mistake of buying one of these infernal contraptions.

Don't waste your money. What iRiver doesn't tell their customers is that once the battery goes dead, the system is useless. I will never buy one of their products again and I'm doing my best to inform everyone out there that they'll be tossing their money in the trash by purchasing any iRiver products. My system cost me $340.00 and it is now as useless as the customer service department at iRiver

2 out of 5 stars Cool while it lasted =(.......2006-10-01

I purchased this 3 months ago and have been using it nonstop since. Unfortunately, after dropping it the thing no longer works, so it isn't very sturdy. The screen is bigger and it is much more watchable than the video iPod. One thing that really sucked about it (besides breaking down on me) was that the mp3 part of it was annoying. If you were listening to music and then watched a video, when you went back to pick up listening to your music you would have to start completely over in your playlist or annoyingly have to scroll down until you found your place.

Anyways, overall I loved this thing while it worked, but definitely won't be buying another one! I don't want to spend $200 bucks on something that just breaks so easily.

This player works its great efficiency in the first few attempts, sinks greatly with Windows media center edition. It gives hitches, freezes, and the key pad has become dysfunctional!!! I would examine thoroughly before investing in this item. It is a sleek player, bigger than your average player. thanks

4 out of 5 stars Awsome.......2006-11-03

I've had this for more then 3 months and i love it. it holds all my music, videos, and pictures. i had some trouble with videos i made, but after a little fiddleing i got it to work. i didnt have any problems with videos purchased online, they transferd quick and work great. the built-in speaker isn't very loud but with headphones or external speakers it works great. it comes with av cables to plug it into a tv or stereo and works great. when changing song or going through the menu it will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds but it isnt a large issue. i havnt had any problems with data lose or anything like that. the batterie lasts me all week for the 1 hour bus ride but id suggest buying another battery(since there only about 20 dollars) if you want to watch alot of videos. it also works awsome with Amazon Unbox video downloads and can be transfered right from the amazon video player. To conclude, I love it and was very happy with the purchase, although it would be cool if it could access internet or play games, but for my purposes and the price, it is perfect.

    Icom IC-M88 Handheld Marine VHF Radio

    Product Description

    Icom's IC-M88 handheld VHF radio is completely submersible and offers the most powerful, longest lasting Li-ion battery in the industry. Designed specifically for the commercial marine market, the rugged M88 offers advanced features yet remains as user-friendly as any other Icom handheld. Offering superior one-handed operation, any recreational boater will appreciate its simple interface. Plus, you can really get your message our with a full 5 Watts of power! For ease of use, powerful and long lasting Li-ion battery, and sheer performance, Icom's IC-M88 just can't be beat. Compare and you'll see why Icom is best. Simply the best.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Built tough to withstand the punishing marine environment, the Icom IC-M88 handheld VHF radio is a must for safety-minded boaters. The radio is outfitted with a host of valuable features, including an easy-to-read backlit LCD display, an intuitive six-button keypad, and a rugged waterproof housing that's submersible in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. More significantly, the radio works with all 57 U.S., 61 Canadian, and 57 international channels, along with 10 weather channels from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). The VHF channels offer an ideal way to communicate with other boaters--whether exchanging information on a great fishing spot or sending out a distress signal--while the NOAA channels notify you when inclement weather is approaching. As a bonus, the radio also offers 22 free channels (from 146 to 174 MHz) reserved for land mobile (commercial) use, making this an ideal unit for marine professionals who also work on the shore (requires FCC license).

    The radio's layout is straightforward and easy to use, with a half dozen clearly labeled buttons on the front panel and a volume/power knob along the top. The radio's rugged body, meanwhile, meets military specifications for durability, so you can rough it up at sea or on land without fearing a breakdown. Other design details include 5 watts of output power for reliable communication over long distances, a surprisingly compact chassis that fits easily in the palm of your hand, and a two-step power saver that preserves battery life.

    The IC-M88 also offers several scanning modes, including an auto scan function that starts scanning whenever no signal is detected, a traditional scan mode that searches through all the tag channels in sequence, a priority scan mode that does the same but also monitors the distress channel (number 16), and a weather alert option that immediately switches the radio to the appropriate weather channel when a storm warning comes through. Users will also dig the Dual Watch and Tri-Watch functions. The former lets you communicate on a channel of your choice while also keeping an eye on channel 16, while the latter monitors two channels--channel 16 and another channel--while receiving a third channel. The pair of "watch" modes guarantee that you won't miss an important emergency call from a distressed boater while your attention is otherwise engaged.

    Additional features include a lithium-ion battery pack that delivers up to 15 hours of talk time per charge, instant access to channels 16 and 9, a key lock function, a four-level battery life indicator, a programmable beep sound, and a self-check function that monitors the internal temperature, connected battery voltage, and water intrusion. Bundled with such accessories as a drop-in charger, swivel belt clip, and hand strap, the IC-M88 radio measures 2.44 by 3.81 by 1.53 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a three-year warranty.

    What's in the Box
    IC-M88 radio, lithium-ion battery pack, drop-in charger, AC adapter, swivel belt clip, hand strap, antenna, user's manual.
