It has the spec, but does it have the appeal?

Review Verdict: Ultimately, the iAudio 7 is a strange mix - a bit like that that mad, slightly unstable uncle you'd rather not be seen in public with but you're fond of anyway. It's fiddly to use, but incredibly powerful. It's quirky to listen to, but has a huge batter
