Very similar to the current iPod Nano models as far as size and weight. As you can see, the controls are the main difference as is the software. It's about 1/8th bigger in width than the Nano. Charges through USB cord and has the capabilities for reading text, watching videos, pictures and of course, music. Will update as far as battery life. You can upload through Windows Media Player or drop and drag what you want into the device itself. The controls take a bit to get used to though. It's the only thing I have slight issues w/ right now, but I'll just have to play w/ it more. Comes with a flyer where you can download 25 songs for free.

31 July 10Playing w/ it a bit more and it seems to tak around 3 seconds for the music tracks to kick in when you either press Play, FFW or RWD. Not a major issue though.

** Fits great into the Belkin Lillian Dual-Fit Armband Case for the iPod Nano also, if you're looking for an armband for running or going to the gym.

It was wonderful at first. The 8GB was what I needed for all the music I wanted to listen to plus several repeated music for certain play lists. However, after having it for a few months, I would charge it, I would leave it for a couple of days and then it would be dead. Charge it, listen to it for 18 mins, leave it for a few days, it would be dead. Not even using it, the battery would drain somehow.

What did their support say when I e-mailed them? To call their support line. Well their support line is a long distance number, no toll free. When I was able to call, no help because I don't have the Receipt anymore. So I will certainly will not be buying a product from them again.

I bought this player after reading the mixed reviews below, not expecting much; but for the price, i figured why not. It took about 3 days to arrive (amazon has always had good shipping times) and worked right out of the package. it came with some preloaded songs i didn't really like but i was able to delete them after i hooked it to my computer and loaded the songs i wanted. replaced the stock headphones with some Jlabs J6 i have, and the audio quality awesome. i haven't had any battery issues and get about 7 hours of playback each time, only takes about 2 hours on my computer to charge. the most difficult thing for me to get a hang of was pushing the "M" button instead of the middle button to go into a menu or select an item. All in all im very pleased with my buy and would recommend taking the chance on this.

I thought the following would help "de-mystify" many people's issues and problems with battery drainage/power loss on the Eclipse 180 player. Most all of Eclipse's Mach Speed MP3 players(including the small clip versions) have a separate "on/off" button located on the side(I was once really mystified myself!)that must be switched to the "on" position before powering on the player with the front power "play" button (and also before charging via a USB cable), as well as switched to "off" position after powering the player off to avoid battery drainage. This can be a nussiance to remember all the time(I still sometimes forget), but it's just part of the Eclipse Mach Speed MP3 player line. I look at it as a "sacrifice" for the rechargable battery convenience. If this is a problem for you, you may want to look at other models of players before buying this one.

I bought this for the music player at my work. Set it up and was frustrated that the controls were awkward at best. After I did learn to operate the system, I plugged it into the speaker system, the jack was somewhat finicky and I had to move it around a lot to get a good connection. The sound seems a bit off even though I am using 320K mp3s. I got the player for around 20 dollars and see that it is 39.99 now. Don't buy it for that much, I would say don't spend over 15 on it, that is about what it is worth. I put it on shuffle and it has been playing for 72 hours now, so, that's good. I wanted a cheap mp3 player for work and that is what I got.
