4 of 5 Great portable media player Tuesday, July 29, 2008
free5256 from Dunwoody, Ga.  

This media player from Toshiba performs every function very well, from MP3s to movies. The screen is very crisp and clear even for playing full length movies. I bought one of these for my son and liked it so much I bought one for myself. 30 megs of memory for the money I spent was a great value. There are only two complaints. 1. The unit does not come with a case, although I purchased a great after market case from EB cases. 2. The size and weight is more than a comparable ipod. (but at a much lower price)

4 of 5 Excellent deal with a few gripes. Friday, June 29, 2007
Willie D. from Columbus, GA  
The V30 is an awesome deal that is truly worth it. Even though the screen is OLED, it looks quite good and it is very sharp. The only thing about the screen is that it does not depict similar colors very well. The sound quality through the included earbuds is marginal although with a nice set of headphones the sound quality is superb. The built in speaker is a little tinny but it does sound clear and it's a great feature. It's very easy to use and the menus are very nice. The battery life is amazing and I can use it plenty throughout the day with battery life still left. The things I do not like are: You can't charge and sync at the same time which is a pain, although I can live with it. I also don't like how you have to convert pretty much every video that goes onto it. I don't like buying extra software and it should have been included with it. Overall this is a great music and video player and it does not fail to satisfy me. If you can get past the fact of the charging/syncing and the converting video, then this would be a great portable media center.

4 of 5 Great Value for a lot of storage Sunday, March 11, 2007
cobra5099 from Waldorf, MD  
I purchased this for $150 in Feb 2007 and really enjoy using it. I plug it into my car and let it shuffle through all of my music, or I can select specific artists or albums on a quicklist to shuffle through. The battery life is great, not quite as much as advertised, but still pretty decent. My only complaint is that it only plays WMV video, it would be better if it could play MPG as well, but my main use is for music. All in all this is a great product that I would recommend to my friends.

5 of 5 Good lower-price video alternative; great battery Monday, March 05, 2007
A Customer from Clifton, NJ  
If you don't have to have an iPod, this is a great choice for mobile video. 7+ hour video battery life is from the best there is. Used it on a transcontinental flight and worked great. Get a different pair of headphones, the ones included aren't powerful enough for airplane use. The unit works with Vongo.com movie downloads (but they mostly have 2nd rate titles) Walmart.com has all the latest movies and you can download them for use with this Toshiba.

4 of 5 Good value for do it yourselfers Monday, March 05, 2007
A Customer from Chicago, IL  
Nice screen big enough to watch longer movies and tv shows. Can't beat the $170 price point for a 30gig video/music player. Easy to load with photo, music, and video files via usb. Can sync thru media player or just drag and drop as player shows up as external usb drive. Video player only plays wmv files so online video purchase/rental library is very limited. Will need to buy additional software and take the time to convert video files, recorded tv, dvds, etc to wmv. But good value overall.

5 of 5 Great PMP device Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Sher from San Antonio  
Very happy with my purchase. The Mp3 player works great hooked up to my Mp3 ready car stereo and speakers. The 3" screen is great and has a zoom feature I wasn't expecting. Ma
