IMO I think the Fuze plays full length movies fine. I’ve watched several on mine. Maybe I still have decent eye sight 
. It seems to be the same quality as ipods, even the newest nano (my coworkers preference, for some reason…) which can show them in widescreen.
I don’t want one with AA or AAA batteries on a player. That’s why I choose my digital camera, no batters to replace and one to recharge, which can be replaced if needed. So that would be fine for a Fuze, I suppose. I got tired of buying new batteries for my regular 35mm camera. yes I know there are rechargables and maybe they’ve improved since I last used them when they wouldn’t last as long as they got older so I was constantly recharging them. And I don’t want to be bothered carrying around something else.
I believe the slotmusic is made for those who want an inexpensive player with no screen to worry about, like exercising or outdoors or even those who work in a more physical environment. Or for the youth. Or those who have a difficult time handling a more advanced machine (like disabled). Different devices for different people. I thought it looked pretty interesting, but thought the Shaker better (although uses a larger card).
I also don’t see why other players don’t have FM radio. Yesterday I wanted to hear some news about what was going on and we have an FM news station.
