I got it and am quite impressed. To get it in Germany I had to order in the UK. Ok, the revolution was the first model (introducing a crank mp3-player), maybe. But, sound is good and all the features are an extra, although not essential. Compared to i...-products it works easily with Linux (except firmware update, which one should perform to knock out some bugs and allow SDHC cards up to 8GB) and it plays .ogg files.
I'd say it is a genuine rival.

Very cool, this is the first I've heard of this little toy. Hey, you never know when you'll be without power and batteries :-) It could definitely come in handy at some point.

this would be very useful if you lost in the desert for days while it's cloudy all day long that you can't use solar battery and you really really want some music.
