I have had my vaio pocket for about a month now. At first I thought I had bought a "white elephant" as the controls seemed to be very temperamental to get a grip with. I am eventually getting the hang of mastering them. I do find it can be very frustrating to get the cursor to go where you want, and you spend too much time fiddling about to get what you want. I now have about one fifth of my CD collection which probably accounts for 9gb of hard drive memory on the vaio. What I really like about MP3 players, (and this probably applies to most of them), is the shuffle facility. It's like listening to you own personal radio station without the adverts, DJ's, news interrupting every 3 minutes. My main grip is the almost total lack of instruction that came with my NEW 40gb vaio. Therefore, I like many others I have read about on this very helpful site, have the same problem of how to control the touch pad, and to get the vaio to do the simplest of things. Is there a web site or somewhere to go to get a comprehensive instruction manual to help. Finally, I am trying to persuade my 27yr old son to invest in one, but , because of the control problems, I am inclined to suggest he goes for an ipod instead. I would be interested in any comments regarding the above
