SSI America MTE Neo35 Camcorder

Pros: Great concept, versatile and reasonable value for money. Good sound quality.
Cons: Build quality (some parts), service / support, instructions poor.

I ordered 2 of these units. The PC Docking Bay, the home USB rack and car rack. Received the Remote control and carry case as well. The price stated of $787 is for 2 x lots of the gear mentioned and is in USD.

I saw this system on the web and...

Pros: Space, space, space. Nothing holds more mp3s. Helpful support.
Cons: Construction is flimsy. Introduces noise to audio system.

I've had the SSI Neo 35 for a few months. My experiences with it are mixed.

Pros: Easy to use Easy to install Hold thousands of songs
Cons: Wish the cooling fan was a bit larger

Overall Im am very pleased with this unit, would buy again!! For the price its simply amazing. Was skeptical reading past reviews but I have had no problems. The only problem I have is the fan may be too small and the HD may run hot, which may be a...

Pros: unlimited music!!
Cons: can be pricey compared to other mp3 players

I test MP3 players all the time, and this is by far my favorite. Maybe because I'm a music buff with over 4000 MP3s so far, but I love having them all right there in my car. I hardly use regular CDs anymore as I listen to MP3s at home off my PC, in the...
