Many of the issues, both positive and negative, that I have experienced while testing the Neuros are discussed in their 442 Forum and in the 442 FAQ. I like the Neuros' hardware very much, it just seemed like the software wasn't quite "ready" yet. While I am certainly not saying that it is unusable, it is definitely not particularly intuitive nor does it quite feel "finished".

The good news is that because it is an open source project the glitches I encountered and the portions of the UI which I found klutzy should eventually be remedied.

The Neuros is extremely easy to hook to an analog audio / video source, and recording directly to the device is a breeze. Playback looks and sounds great on this solidly built device, and once the user learns the rhythm of hitting the various button combinations to get where they want to be, it is not so hard to navigate. But perhaps the best feature of the Neuros is the community of people, developers and consumers alike, which are working together to create an ever improving product.
