One Word: Decent!

Pros: Takes SD cards, 128MB/512MB/1GB tested. USB lets you put in other cards with the help of a reader/adapter. Just have to switch them like you would with tapes. Build quality is much better than expected. Many channels to select from. Having song memory is also good. 
Cons: Remote seems useless because the front seat driver/passengers would already have access to the main transmitter. Also a bit of background noise at all time, the humming is quite audible. Don't have others to compare, not sure if all FM transmitters are prone to have this issue. 
Other Thoughts: Someone mentioned no on/off switch. It is not needed because you use the car's radio on/off option to power it on/off. 
Bottomline: Gave this to non-technical elderlies and they have no trouble using this at all. Also fuse burnt-out is not an issue, as this was bought 09/2007 and obviously is still in great working condition after using it non-stop since.

Pros: Easy to use and decent sound quality.
Nice looks also 
Cons: Ordered 3 for presents  to friends, but one was broken. Burns fuse immediately, so some short circuit probably. Other two work fine 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: A bit more quality control would be needed. In overall a good buy 
					

Not for Audio-books

Pros: Slim nice look , remote , external audio.

The model they sent enabled full scan of all frq on FM. 
Cons: Takes about 30 sec to start reading a file from the USB port (Audio-Book file)

Does not remember last location in the file when restarted.

Can't fast forward! (so a 3-Hour audio book is imposible to listen too - there is no way to get back to last point you listned to , no FF and no memory)

Low transmition power . humms and noises when locked on correct channel. 
Other Thoughts: I am sorry I purchased it . I have two that can be used for songs but I wanted one for listening to audio-books and this isn't worth anything for that .

I hope they accept it back or I will just give it away . 
Bottomline: Sorry I bought it .

Pros: Surprisingly good sound quality. Deliver as promised. Has SD slot so you can put the SD card directly. With remote. 
Cons: No on/off button. Cannot select songs in folder. Still don't understand how the songs are ordered if put into different folders (although all can be play). 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: It does what it promise. It worths all the money spent.
