Creative's Nomad Muvo2 - Interface (continued)
The delete function within the menu doesn't provide the ability to delete everything or a folder; instead, it is done one by one. This gets tedious after a while, and in the future, we would like to see the ability to delete a simple folder.The settings that pertain to the Muvo2 are fairly simple and Creative provides only the essentials: contrast, backlight time (off, 3, 5, 10, and 15 seconds), many languages, idle shutdown (off, 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes), and information.
Contrast is controlled in a similar manner as volume, using the vertical toggle, and it has a scale of 0 to 100.
The backlight and idle shutdown options, meanwhile, come with a different scheme. Since there are only 5 options from which to choose, this is the very easy to follow, but obviously limits the user's choices.

Ok, what's the battery life on this model?Koing - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
Imo the $50 difference between the Muvo2 and the iPod Mini isn't much even on a cash strapped budget. It would be worth saving up for imo. I always do this with stuff.The only problems I see is that the remote on any of the iPods to be quite frank is 'crap'. It is definately no MD remote. And the length of the headphone wires? Rubbish.
How is the length of the Muvo2 headphone wires with remote? I can't stand the length on my iPod.

Odd they never mentioned the fact that this $200 player houses a 4GB microdrive that retails for more than twice that price. I'm happy with my Muvo2, but I imagine eventually the drive will find its way to my camera.yanon - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - link
The Muvo2 design engineers should consider adding voice recording function to it. This would be great for people who would want to use it as an recording device. it will probably only cost them $10 more to add this feature but they can claim this is a 3-in-one (mp3, voice recording, and data storage) player.
