Worst Name for an Awesome Product
Truly’s Pic ‘N Roll. First of all Cnet and a few other reviewer ripped this unit a new one. But, if you do your research and check out actual consumers/users of the unit they have nothing but praise for it. Part of this is due to the fact that Truly released a preproduction model for preliminary review and many reviewers where too lazy or unwilling to analyze the final product.
Truth be told the Truly Pic ‘N Roll MP313X is a bargain and a awesome piece of technology. Look at the basic specs.
