I ORDERED THIS REALLY COOL LOOKING ITEM FOR MY DAUGHTERS 16TH BIRTHDAY IN DEC.09 AND AT PRESENT WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE SCREEN WENT OUT AND EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE SYSTEM. FOR THIS MONEY AND WITH ALL THIS HYPE, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE THIS WAY. SHE WAS NOT TOO UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO APPLICATIONS FOR TRANSFER, OTHER THAN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT, OR FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT THEN IT WENT OUT. WOW! WHAT A BUMMER FOR MY SWEETIE. AT FIRST, IT WAS SO COOL, STANDING ON ITS OWN WITH THE GREAT SOUND SYSTEM!
I SUGGEST, IF ANYONE PURCHASES THIS ITEM, YOU MUST GET SOME KIND OF WARRANTY. GOOD LUCK!
I bought this for its big screen and its big storage, that itself is 10 out of 10. As soon as I got it, I tested to see if it would play flv files. I had to convert it to its appropriate resolution size in order for it to work properly and in wmv format. =( I bought it thinking I wouldn’t have to do anything other than transferring. The video then kind of slowed down and I didn’t really like it. Also you can’t use your own photos as wallpaper which sucks. Lost one star because of that, another because I have to convert files.
Life in Samsung “Duane” – Hey, can you tell me what your flv resolution size setting etc is? Cause I’ve tried converting and the video after conversion just sucks. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
I purchased this player primarily to play my large collection of Mp3′s. I would say do not buy this player if you want to use it mostly for music.
-With so many music files, it was near impossible to scroll to the exact file I wanted. Example: The player would skip from the J’s to the L’s when I’m desperately trying to access the K’s. Apparently there is no search feature.
-The icons are difficult to translate and I’m constantly pushing the wrong button. I also kept accidentally hitting the Update File Library button, which would take several minutes to update before I could go back to my frustrating attempts to scroll.
-After turning on the power, it would take a good 30 seconds for the player to actually turn on.
-I was hoping for a feature where the player would shuffle through ALL of my music files, but I don’t think this feature exists.
Other than that, I enjoy using this player for video. The screen is large and clear and the sound quality is good. I may keep the player for use as a video player only, but I will continue shopping for a music player.
I’ve had the latte for approximately four weeks now. I was surprised by the weight of the player; it has a nice heft, and not cheap feel that I thought it might. The screen is large, and video looks great on it. It’s not HD but for less than $200, it does what it does very well. To test video on it, I took a DVD and converted it to avi, and it plays full screen. I also used Aimersoft video converter to take an Apple music video and remove the DRM, and converted it to WMV. Having to convert a video is an extra step that I don’t really like doing, but at the time I bought this, Zune hadn’t yet come out with the Zune HD64, and I will never buy another Ipod again….I’ve owned both and Ipod and a Zune. My 80gb Zune was dead due to some bent pins causing the charging cord not to work anymore. The only way to fix bent pins is to get a new motherboard which I couldn’t do because Zune stopped making the 80gb players. In short, you can’t really compare the Latte to the Zune or the Ipod.
The Latte doesn’t support playlists, but I have found if you simply create a folder and make your own “playlist” that way, it works just fine. You just have to go under “Files” instead of “Music” and locate your folder with your playlist on it.
I bought a 16gb microSD card to bring it up 48gb, and that’s more than enough room for all my music and the occasional movie for traveling.
I was impressed that it came with a nice leather case that has an easel so you can set it up for viewing. The headphones are also quality, and not the cheap earbuds I was expecting.
Unfortunately, like most media players, the battery is internal. It would be nice if players were made with removable batteries, like cell phones but I am acutely aware that everything these days is designed to be disposable….The battery will last for at least five to six hours of audio. I usually mess with the volume and switch to the next song (even in shuffle mode) so I know this eats up additional battery power, and I don’t listen to it for more than an hour at a time usually. I’ve never watched a whole lot of video on it since I bought it so I don’t know how long the battery will truly last on that.
There aren’t a lot of wallpapers to choose from, and pictures you load on it cannot be displayed as wallpaper. This of course, is not a dealbreaker, but would be nice a feature for Latte to include on future models. Otherwise, I am extremely happy with this purchase.
Have had this since march 29, 2010. Found out it is not compatible with my version of windows. I went to the lattefone website to try to download the fix for widows and only got error messages saying that this update is not needed for this computer. I tried on my computer and my mom’s computer which have the same OS. I took it to school and tried with the computers there, they have windows professional, it works fine with those computers. I emailed product support and I got an email back about 2 days later saying they will email me again in 24-48 hrs and got another one a week or so later saying that I had a faulty USB cable and that they would replace that. I emailed right away to let them know it wasn’t a faulty USB and haven’t heard back, that was a week ago. Right at the moment it is in a repair shop because my friend ran into me and knocked it out of my hand and the digitizer screen cracked all the way across. Lucky it wasn’t the lcd screen because that is much more expensive to replace. I didn’t expect it to break because it is a heavy little unit and doesn’t feel like it is cheaply made and I had it in it’s case. So if you get this don’t let it fall. I like this player, really I do, but wish they would have better firmware for it. Before you spend any money on this, if you have windows vista, go to the lattefone site and see if you can download and install the update, or be prepared to use someone else’s computer to put any music or video on it.
