MP3 Player
The Ice supports MP3, APE, FLAC, AAC, and WMA audio files, and gives you up to 8 hours of uninterrupted playback on a single charge. Dial in a custom EQ setting or use one of the seven equalization presets (Normal, 3D, Rock, Pop, Classic, Bass, Jazz). If you want to change things up a bit, or tune into the FM TV broadcast at the gym, just call up one of the 30 FM radio presets.

Video Player
Always have access to your favorite shows, movies, and pictures. The Ice supports direct play without conversion with AVI, WMV, FLV, RM, and RMVB files, and you can enjoy up to 4 hours of video on a single charge. The 2.8-inch screen is also a great way to share your photos, and makes navigating your files a breeze.

Built-in FM Transmitter
You've seen it: the clunky FM transmitter in your buddy's car, allowing him to tune into his MP3 player. Latte saw it too, and decided to make it part of the package. No need for external transmitters here--the Ice can transmit an FM signal anywhere, anytime, allowing you to tune in your car or  home stereo to your favorite songs on the Ic.

Voice Recording
Keep track of random great ideas, grab lectures and meetings for later reference, or record whatever tickles your fancy with the included voice recorder. Capture audio through the built-in microphone in WAV format.

External Expandable Memory
If you fill up your 16 Gigs too quickly, the Ice includes a microSD memory card (up to 16 GB) slot. Keep media on separate cards and pop them in on the fly for endless options.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Versatile MP3 Player, November 22, 2009

I must admit I had a couple of problems figuring out how to use this device properly, at first I even thought it was defective! After speaking with the very helpful tech support guy in San Jose, the penny dropped and I felt embarrassed that I hadn't RTFM (read the f manual)!
This is a very loaded MP3 player, 16 GB with slot for more memory, and boasts a superb FM transmitter as well as a great FM radio. You can watch movies or just listen to music, or even use it as a flash drive for your computer. It is light and portable with a quality screen and comes with great headphones too. You can use it as a recorder and listen with the built in speaker (tinny but better than nothing).
Get the optional Latte Ice sleeve to protect it. Enjoy!

I ordered this unit as an alternative to an iPod because of the low price for the capacity and for the built in transmitter. Since it doesn't self-organize using itunes it's basically all manual operation, and the firmware is apparently unstable. The user;s guide warns the user not to unplug the unit from a PC while it's updating, or it may damage the unit, but there is no indication of when that process is complete. Customer service is automated email and no one has responded in about two weeks. I ALOS SPENT FOR THE ADDITIONAL 16gb card, so I have about $150 wasted on this thing. Learn, all, from my mistake.

I have a Latte Ice 16GB over a month. I spent 3 hours a day with the player on average. I read the reviews from previous owners before my purchase. It appeared to be a good buy for me since it's within my price range and supports Micro SD card.

Now, I could play and sync the songs via Windows Media Player but the player cannot be turned on. The Troubleshooting in the user's manual: ' ..if the player cannot turn on after fully charged, please contact us at [e-mail]'. The company's online website is not helpful at all.

I'm waiting for them to solve my problems via email.
