engadget.com— Apparently Sharp thought it would be cool to design an mp3 player with huge clunky buttons that looks like it is running DOS.

Who cares if it's not very visually appealing?The majority of people i see using portable audio devices just stow them in a pocket or bag.The exception usually being tools who love to show off their new ipod.
"The OGG argument is OVER. It's BEEN over, as far as portables go. The mass market wouldn't dream of doing the work required to convert for a quality boost that itsn't noticable unless you reside in the upper echelon of audiophile."Especially when the widely supported MP4/AAC format already provides that boost.
Apple is eating my lunch? Bastards! No really, if it sounds awesome, i dont care what it looks like, seriously, the unassuming look is humbling, I like it.
"Yeah I'm a classical music fan and even I hate Eine kleine, or anything Mozart for that matter."You can't be a classical music fan without liking Mozart although that is a nice sarcastic comment. =D

I think the ugly dirty-ish color of the buttons is what makes it an "eyesore."

Congratulations to the person who tried to mod down Demagogue simply for having an anti-Apple opinion. You have been deemed: Predictable.

i think i'd need to see it in person, that pics larger than the device itself, so that may contribute to its crap appearance
