Wow! I've owned a 96Meg eGo for about a week now and I've been having a blast with it. I'm not sure where to start with this review... but here's a summary statement just in case you don't feel like reading the whole thing... The eGo, made by i2go.com...

Pros: Very expandable.
Cons: Big, Ugly, Scares young children and the elderly.

Cons: Everything Else

First off I will be perfectly clear with you. You shouldn't buy this mP3 if you like to save money and listen to good sound quality. People who like to buy cheap plastic Low quality high priced things would love this eGo MP3 Player. Any one else who has...

Cons: Large, not the best for workouts, battery life etc

I owned one of the 1st MP3 players released, did not use it much because of the limitations (memory, time to download)
