Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Latte Ice 8 GB Video MP3 Player with Built-In FM Transmitter (Silver)
Customer Review: LOVE IT !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Super beautiful in ALL respects. Some quirks exist but easy to accept.
FM radio is amazing and recording off air easy and clear but you must use earphones or headset for FM since they utilize that for the antenna. So you can not turn on the FM and stick it in your pocket and use built in speaker to listen to FM radio.
Instructions not written by American so some interpretation necessary to understand some things. Instructions say ' mini SD' card for expansion but even this site uses ' micro' and ' mini' like they are interchangeable. Will buy expansion card when I figure out what fits.
Warning included about not forcing the USB connection all the way into the machine.. " A gentle half way ... is enough". Same with 3.5mm plug- has to be placed part way in to have stereo.
Has two ' ON ' switches. One on side with marking different ( has >>>>>> ) from what is shown in instructions. It must be on then push ' play/pause switch for several seconds to turn on. Off can be accomplished with just the play/pause switch on the front.
In the ' tech details' Amazon description says ' supports AVI'... when you get the Latte the instructions explain that you must use the software they provide to ' convert' your AVI before sending it through the mini Firewire port... So a computer is needed for the conversion as compared to being able to record directly from a DV camera using a double ended mini Firewire cable.
It arrived in two days. I have only had it a few days and have not tried to access all the features...but the ones I have used are really nice...and for the price..no competition that I know of.
Edit/Update: In addition to the internal memory a MINI SD flash card slot is at the top. This will only accept a REGULAR MINI SD card... IE, will not accept HDSD mini card. This limits your portable card to 2GB. Not a problem to me but wanted people to know this to avoid hassle. I use a Canon 830 minidv video camera to film, you can choose to capture to the minidv tape or to a 8GB ( in my case ) HCSD card. For speed I set the minidv to card, shoot, pull card and place into usb reader and upload to computer file with shortcut on desktop ( latteicebefore), start avi converter supplied with latte ice. Works FAST AND EASY. Send to file with shortcut on desktop named (latteiceafter). Download that file using same usb reader to the Mini SD card with SD adapter. Take out mini card and install in top of latte ice. First time took 20 minutes. Practice will make it very fast. If capturing to minidv tape download will be at real time.. example.. 20 minutes filming equals 20 minutes of download time. So SD card / Mini SD card combo is way faster. Not sure the battery lasts as long as they claim. Screen color and sharpness are amazing. 8gb latte comes with silicon wrap which is very nice. I bought a 2 GB latte ice also and it did not come with it. The ' holographic ' sound demo is amazing also.

MP3 Player
The Ice supports MP3, APE, FLAC, AAC, and WMA audio files, and gives you up to 8 hours of uninterrupted playback on a single charge. Dial in a custom EQ setting or use one of the seven equalization presets (Normal, 3D, Rock, Pop, Classic, Bass, Jazz). If you want to change things up a bit, or tune into the FM TV broadcast at the gym, just call up one of the 30 FM radio presets.
Video Player
Always have access to your favorite shows, movies, and pictures. The Ice supports direct play without conversion with AVI, WMV, FLV, RM, RMVB files, and you can enjoy up to 4 hours of video on a single charge. The 2.8-inch screen is also a great way to share your photos, and makes navigating your files a breeze.
FM Transmitter
You've seen it: the clunky FM transmitter in your buddy's car, allowing him to tune into his MP3 player. Latte saw it too, and decided to make it part of the package. No need for external transmitters here--the Ice can transmit an FM signal anywhere, anytime, allowing you to tune in your car or home stereo to your favorite songs on the Ice.
Voice Recording
Keep track of random great ideas, grab lectures and meetings for later reference, or record whatever tickles your fancy with the included voice recorder. Capture audio through the built-in microphone in WAV format.
External Expandable Memory
If you fill up your 8 Gigs too quickly, the Ice includes a microSD memory card (up to 16 GB) slot. Keep media on separate cards and pop them in on the fly for endless options.
