I think so.

According to this... No.

But then again, half the review is written with "douchebag on my forehead", so I'm not entirely sure.
killazys:
oh, and cnet fails at reviews anyway. for them, it's kind of like
iPod > everything

Technically the NWZ X1060B from Sony beat it... but failed on price (It goes for about 400-500 dollars for the 32GB model)

I put an .mkv contained video that claimed to use AAC audio and it played just fine with sound and all. Make of that what you will.
[edit]Just read the CNET article. My god how far they have fallen. The only conclusion I can come to after reading their review is that the reviewer is mentally retarded, deaf and without hands, instead using his stub wrists to attempt manipulation.
Either that or he had a different media player.
I also find it extremely disengenious (sp?) that he bashes the proprietary format USB/HDMI connection when iPods and Zunes are equally proprietary.
He also ignores the fact that it has superb audio quality and excellent video quality (the point of a PMP, no?) in favor of knocking stuff that doesn't even matter in a comparison between products.
He also forgets to mention that, while Windows CE does need a stylus, it comes with a fucking stlyus-like attachment (I personally don't like it, but it's there).

YAY AAC. Thanks for that tidbit proin, and i had that feeling the whole time I was reading the review too..
