The Viliv P1 as far as I know is the only player on the market that uses a flash based OS and it does not suffer. The video playback quality on the player even when outputted to a tv was excellent as well as sharp, even the fm transmitter worked well (yes I kid you not)[...]

overall, I thought this player was superb in every way. Yes it may be bigger than the ipod, but the screen size, changeable battery, file support, flash interface and general ease of use sets it miles ahead. As far as I am concerned, the Viliv P1 is the player for me that sets the benchmark for all others to match. Roll on the competition!
