Odyssey 1000 -- A- While the Odyssey player offers voice recording, an FM radio, and a fast USB 2.0 connection, its best feature is the backlit display. It's bright, legible, and well laid out. The controls are simple, with an iPod-style thumb wheel for browsing songs and adjusting the volume. But files must be organized in an inconvenient folder/subfolder hierarchy, and the Odyssey's voice-navigation system is gimmicky and impractical: Barking commands and artist requests in public places draws odd looks. $350; 20GB; 858-679-3195; edigital.com (Windows only; USB 2.0)
