Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2003 01:36:22 +0100 The JBR20 is the winner for me - I spent toooo long deciding which to buy, my only regret is that I did not get a flashable chip in my unit, and lack the skill to perform the relevant surgery on the myself. Both ---- :) USB2 :) Pixel based LCD :) Many front panel buttons :( Really cheap headphones in box :( Lousy manual - not relevant if you use Rockbox FM -- :) Built-in Radio :( Unreplaceable battery (without RTB ...to really bad customer support) :( Headphone socket on the SIDE Recorder -------- :) Digital I/O :) Headphone socket on the Top :) Comes with 1500mAH batteries - can be easily replaced with even more powerful batteries :) Remote Control available :( No Radio :( A little bigger :( A little heavier (although, not by much) At 19:57 07/08/03 -0400, you wrote: > Hi.
