(More customer reviews)Update: After very limited use for 18 months or so the radio stopped working -- just would not turn on. I disassembled it (I build such electronics, so not a big deal). Battery is fully charged, switches are functioning (tested with ohmmeter), no loose wires. Must be a component failure. Not good, considering it was always in a padded case when not used. Add the that: The price is $100 more now than when I bought it in mid-2008. Definitely NOT recommended.

-------------------------
This radio works well as an internet radio. Manual says 10 hrs on battery when in internet radio mode and I have no reason to question that (but no life tests as yet). And, if you have a USB AC supply (as from an iPhone or iPod) you can power it from that. It is also an FM radio, but I've yet to try that mode.
Construction is fine for the purpose and size (it is really tiny -- thinner than my iPhone, a bit narrower and about 2/3 as big in the longest dimension).
However the description is a bit misleading. It says "Add more media to your device with the Micro SD/MMC card slot". I can find no such slot in the unit (it's so small it would be hard to hide such a slot); nor is one mentioned in the manual. You can load MP3s, images and video into the 1 GB internal memory, but it will not accommodate a Micro SD card as I had hoped. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of five.
The lack of the promised slot is a bit disappointing. But my reason for buying this unit was to have a small internet radio for travel (already have a large one next the bed) and it is that. And I have several other MP3 players.
