Insignia Pilot Reviews
AnythingbutIpod reviews the Insignia Pilot and writes;
“The image quality of the Pilot’s 2.4” 18-bit LCD is identical to the LCD in the NS-DV, if not slightly better. Colors are vivid with no major color banding to be seen. The only thing that really bothered me was the abnormally large amount of backlight bleeding from the right edge of the display. It’s especially obvious on dark screens, even if brightness is set to minimum. ”

CNET reviews the Insignia Pilot 8GB and writes;
“The good: The Insignia Pilot is an incredible value for a media player, and it’s packed with features: Bluetooth, FM radio, line-in recording, photo and video support, and Rhapsody DNA Integration. It plays back a wide variety of audio formats and is compatible with both Mac and Windows PCs. The bad: The Insignia Pilot’s sound quality is only so-so, and it’s on the large side for a flash player. ”
