I have a 1GB and I think it is great.  I would buy another if I could 
find one in the local stores.  The only problem is the arm band won't 
fit around my arm.  :( or it could be :) as it means I have more muscle 
than the iRiver arm band is designed for.

Display Lyrics?  Why would I want that?  No just kidding.  It doesn't 
but I don't really care about that.  Anytime I use the iRiver, I don't 
have the ability to watch the display anyways.  If I want to see lyrics, 
I will be at the computer.  I do like the fact it will run ogg-vorbis 
files but I wish it would play flac's.

I do like the idea of just plugging in the USB cable and finding that it 
mounts like a HD.  This was after a firmware update from the iRiver site.
