The DB-feature is still a bit limited.
The current firmware doesn't like filenames longer than 52 characters
although the fileformat of iRivNavi.iDB isn't restricted to this
bound. Also, navigation through a huge list of artists is plainful.
The playlist handling and the shuffle's randomness could be
improved, too.

Besides, I'm quite happy with this device!
(browsing by file structure)
Battery life is OK.

<p>bye,
Sebastian
