I purchased this in hopes of using it as an MP3 recorder and player. It constantly locked up and required rebooting during random play. It also crashed several times and lost all data requiring reloading with gigs of music, video, and JPGs. Run don't walk away from this.

Used for one month only.

So far highly recommended in comparison with other handheld storage devices like Epson's. Price is right and product performs as advertised.

Direct storage/backup and review of CF and SD cards is simple and very quick--2GB CF in ~3 minutes, so battery holds up well enough for me so far. I generally shoot 4GBs of NEF's in a morning and have been able to B/U, review, store, and then download 12GB before a re-charge.

No need for any proprietary SW. No grief regarding downloading or transferring files to-from a PC--drag and drop without any file conversions. Device appears to computer as one HD, plus the card readers.

Music sounds good, I've not bothered with playlists, just plunked playlist folders from PC and ran with them. A real plus is the voice recorder works well and actually sounds OK, but there is an inconsistent, but perceptable, high pitched whine during record and playback of voice--maybe poor isolation from HD during "record", but very usable to catch lectures, etc.

As with any battery dependant device, I always carry an extra battery, but the Wolverine makes you use a tiny screwdriver (not included) to change the battery.
