Review & Giveaway: Insignia Pilot Video MP3 Player with Bluetooth Headphones

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Grace of Sandier Pastures.
Congratulations!

As you know, we are a household of electronic lovers - especially MP3s. I believe we have a total of 8 different types among us not including the ones on our cell phones. So you can imagine my excitement when I was offered the opportunity to review the Insignia Pilot Video MP3 Player from Best Buy.



Product features:
  • 4GB* internal flash storage holds MP3 files, photos and videos
  • Built-in Bluetooth wireless audio lets you listen to your music with compatible Bluetooth headphones (not included)
  • Supports MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, WMA DRM, WMA Pro, OGG, WAV, Audible, MPEG4 (30 fps), WMV (30 fps) and JPEG formats
  • 2.4" high-resolution LCD color display with wide viewing angles
  • Built-in digital FM tuner with 20 presets; remember songs you hear by saving track and artist data from FM stations broadcasting RDS data
  • Features a Secure Digital card expansion slot for additional memory capacity (media not included)
  • Custom EQ with 4 presets
  • High-speed USB 2.0 interface for blazing transfer speeds
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 25 hours of playback time
The first thing I noticed was that it has a very stylish look. Now if only I could get it out of the packaging! I swear this thing is so packed protected that I feared bodily injury when trying to free it from it's plastic. However, once that was accomplished, setting it up was a breeze. As another reviewer said, "It's so easy, even a caveman could do it." I'm not kidding! The instruction manual that came with it is only a piece of paper because that's really all that's needed.

What I really liked about this MP3 player is the FM tuner. It's kind of cool to be able to listen to the local news updates or traffic reports whenever you want to. The reception is crisp and clear and you're able to program 20 of your favorite stations.

Loading music, photos, and videos were a breeze. This player is not compatible with iTunes, however, Best Buy does have it's own Digital Music Store. If you really wanted to, you could burn a CD copy of your iTune purchases, download them to this program, and sync your player. Not a big deal.

It's pretty cool to have a video player on hand especially when grocery shopping with the kids. Anything that keeps them quiet in public for a decent amount of time is always a plus for me! And since it has a media card slot, memory is never a problem.

All in all, I love this MP3 player. And coming from an iPod diehard, that's saying a lot. For the price of $129.99, this presents an affordable option for those looking to take their music on-the-go.

Guess what? I have a brand new, never opened (I'll leave that up to you but be careful!), Insignia Pilot Video MP3 Player & Bluetooth Headphones for one lucky person to win. How cool is that?

The entire Insignia line of mp3 players are being revamped, upgraded, all new firmware, for the summer of 2008. An insider told me that the new players will be COMPLETELY Itunes compatible, right down to being able to sync with your playlists!!! No more stupid Rhapsody, which is used by maybe .000000000000000000000001% of the world.

The insider said that Best Buy has struck a deal with Apple to become the first Non-Ipod mp3 player to be able to utilize Itunes fully!

I can't wait, since the previous version of this player sucked more than a blackhole at a fireworks show!

Comon Insignia, show us a better product already!!!!!!!!!
