Design:

Compared to other flash MP3 players, the Insignia Pilot is neither the most compact device nor its huge but a bit on the long side.  It features an ample 2.4-inch color LCD screen on the left and a control pad on the right. The latter consists of a menu button and mechanical scroll ring with four-way clicking capability surrounding a Play/Pause key. A Power/Hold switch and the rather unique star-rating toggle line the top edge of the player, and the ports–headphone, line-in/secondary headphone, and standard mini USB–reside along the right spine. Also has a built-in SD card expansion slot into the bottom of the player, which is handy for users who don’t want to be limited to 8GB of memory.

Features:

• 2.4″ high-resolution LCD color display with wide viewing angles
• Built-in digital FM tuner with 20 presets
• Supports quite a number of audio formats such as MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, Audible, WAV, WMA Pro, WMA DRM and OGG. Also    supports MPEG-4 and WMV video formats and JPEG photo format.
• With Rhapsody DNA integration, the internet radio can be transferred in to the devices so you can listen to FM radio with    20 presets.
• With Bluetooth functionality you can direct the stereo stream to Bluetooth headphones so you don’t have to mess with wires.
• Features a Secure Digital card expansion slot for additional memory capacity
• High-speed USB 2.0 interface for blazing transfer speeds
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 25 hours of playback time
• Compatible with both Windows PCs and MAC

Comments:

It has a great value for money. This device is attractive and pretty small with its dimensions but it’s not the smallest among the flash devices.
