 I got a new high capacity mp3 Jul 27, 2009
By Heidi Palm
"Heidi Palm"
I have used latte's products and very satisfied with this little-knwon company's product.
First thing I would like to mention is that they have a very good customer service. I had my Ice 8GB mp3 player that I accidentally broke the screen and the latte replaced the whole unit to the new one.
Now I needed more memory space to upload my home videos and found this latte on Amazon. Ice 8GB is now passed to my son and I got this 32GB mp3 plus the 16GB extra memory. I uploaded most of my home videos(about 40GB) and still have plenty of memory space left for the music. My husband is using the Archos 60GB harddrive mp3 player, but now he wants this latte 32GB cafe mp3 because the response time is a lot faster than the Archos. My husband is telling me that it is becuase of the memory: flash memory should run faster than the harddrive memory.
*Screen: Very sensetive touch screen. Unlike ipod touch, cafe mp3 requires the double click to activate any buttons or lists. But for the price that is around half of the ipod touch 32GB(nowadays, it is around $399), I am very impressed about the quality of this cafe.
*There are not many choice for the high capacity mp3 and the prices are too expensive. I had my research on the high capacity mp3's and found ipod touch($399), Archos 60GB($269) , Sansa($175 but not touch screen and small screen), Zen($235 but not a touch screen), cowon($269.99), and latte cafe($189).
*Sound: reasonable sound quality. pretty much same sound as my previous latte Ice mp3 player(of course, they are from the same company ^_^)
*Video: I am very happy that I can now carry all of my home videos with me. cafe has TV connection feature but I haven't tested.
*Accessories: Nice leather case and the touch pen. Also, the good earphone.
I think the other 32GB mp3s are very overpriced compare to this latte. I hope my review helps.

 Latte Cafe compared to iPod Touch/Zune Sep 02, 2009
By NYC Resident
"Business Traveller"
Cost:
Good: $190 is a great price for a 4.3" screen video player. Half the cost of an iPod Touch 32GB.
Bad: Cannot use it to play audio playlists. Limited functionality. Not a platform decision, no apps.
Video:
Good: Plays AVI, WMV videos WITHOUT conversion.
Bad: Does not play MP4 (iPod Video or H.264 iPod Touch files). That does save hours of conversion time, but takes up 3X more storage space.
Display Screen, Navigation:
Good: Large screen, clear display. High quality video playback.
Good: Display will turn off after user selects time for backlight. Good for conserving battery on audio playback. Instant backlight response when screen is touched. Case protects screen adequately to prevent some mis-touches.
Bad: Slower response time when using finger or stylus. Not as precise or responsive as the iPhone or iPod Touch. Menu selection means double tapping.
Audio:
Good: Headphone quality is better than most other players including iPod earphones.
Good: Plays MP3 files. Can drag drop individual MP3 files. Can drop folders of MP3 files (by artist, albums etc.).
Good: Sound quality is excellent. EQ settings are cool, although limited.
Good: Connects directly to the PC and can be used as a external flash drive. Can drag & drop video, MP3 files etc. directly onto the player.
Good: Reads IDTag v2 information well, including song album art (if already included in file).
Very Bad: Needs some work on the interface and features - cannot create play lists externally to the player and just upload the play list MP3's. All MP3 files will list in alphabetical (or folder) order or by artist, album order, not playlist order. Cannot execute M3U files from file manager or Audio button.
I have tried WinAmp also to preserve the playlist order, that didn't work. WinAmp does create a M3U playlist file that automatically copies over to the player-but I cannot find a way to execute the file!! Until I can resolve this, I won't use the player for audio.
Bad: No software that allows playlists, music libraries, video libraries to be managed (see issue above with playlists).
Bad: Cannot capture album art from software - as no software provided. No software available on website.
Power Switch:
Good: Cannot acidentally turn the player off.
Bad: Power switch is slow to respond.
Bad: EQ settings do not remain in last selection after power off. They default to normal on power up.
Case:
Good: Nice design including the stand. Protects screen well.
Bad: Magnet needs to be stronger. Plastic "clips" to hold player in place are not strong enough and need a redesign - why not use clips and a magnet in the center of the case?? No place to store stylus.
Speakers:
Good: Speakers are excellent for a portable media player.
TV Out:
Good: Works Well.
Stylus:
Good: Stylus is a good idea, although not much better than using a finger.
Bad: No place to store the sylus, not magnetic.
Software:
Good: Not tied to using iTunes, Zune etc.
Bad: No choice to to use a third party product. Winamp does not create playlists that the player can use in playlist order!!
Bad: No software listed on www.lattefone.com
Text Viewer:
Good: Can read text files.
Bad: No PDF or formatted text support. Limited usefulness.
OS:
Good: Works well on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7. Driver available for 9.x, ME.
Website:
Good: They have one at www.lattefone.com
Bad: No useful information. No detailed user guides!!
OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:
Video: 5/5 (excellent display)
Audio: 2/5 (no playlist support, no software).
Text: 2/5 (limited usefulness)
Hardware: 4/5 (excellent screen quality, speakers, slow screen responsiveness).
Value: 3/5 (some improvements needed, more function/support for formats, software plugin for WinAmp perhaps, playlist support).
Cost: 5/5 (hard to get lower for the screen size). However, Samsung, HTC & iPhones may be better value overall.

Not Samsung, But Latte also Works Great! Aug 17, 2009
By Life in Samsung
"Duane"
I have been a Samsung fan for all my electronics. I own the Samsung LCD TV, Cellphones, Bluetooth, Laptop, and pretty much everything that I own is the Samsung brand and I really satisfy them. But I decided to try out the other MP3 player besides the Samsung since the Samsung P2 is way expensive compare to other brands. Actually, my budget was very tight. :-)
I had researched many other options and I found several MP3s that I liked with 32Gb. iRiver, Cowon, Latte had the reasonable pricing and pretty much similar specs. So I went for the cheapest which was the Latte cafe. And I had to buy the one which supports the flash movie files.
=Sound & Touch: I was surprised that the sound is very nice and the 3d sound sample was amazing. Touch screen is not like iPod which is "Resistance Touch", but the touch sensativity is still great if I compare cafe to the other "Pressure" touchscreens.
=TV connection: Good, Good, Good. I can watch my videos through my TV. The TV out cable comes with the box and very simple 1 touch transmit to my TV. I very much like this feature.
=Flash movie & Memory: As soon as I receive the device, I had to test if the FLV file really works on this as described on Amazon. And it did work. I was excited and dump all my flash movie files and still have plenty of space available for my music collection. I realized that 32Gb is very large memory space and I think I won't be changing my MP3 player for long time becuase of the capacity.
=Simple: Interface is very simple and easy to navi. Latte seems to eliminate unnessessary fundtions from the cafe and it makes easier to use. Nowadays, many electronic devices have tooooo much functions and it bothers me a lot. That's why I like the simple electronics like Flip video and Cafe.
=Bundles: The box comes with the nice leather case which I can flip the nob and make it stand as the picture frame on my desk. The noise reduction earphone is also a plus. I always didn't like the cheap earphone that comes with the iPod and ended up spending extra $30 on the new earphone, but the Cafe's earphone is good to use.
=Battery: The battery time runs for very long time for Audio & Video playing. But it seems that I have to wait little long time to fully charge the battery.
Great MP3 and Video player for the price. Very solid design. Very simple to use and Navigate. And Amazon sent the unit to me very quickly.

 mixed feelings Sep 11, 2009
By snow324
Pros:
-Supports text files, so you can load and read e-books, a feature most other mp3 players don't have
-Comes with many accessories: a nice leather carrying case which can be propped up, earphones, extra earbud covers, a separate carrying case for the earphones, stylette, connector for you computer, a wall charger adapter
-Plug and play with your computer, no software download needed
-Easy to manage files and user friendly interface
-Excellent sound quality
-Built-in speakers
-Supports avi and wmv files
Cons:
-You connect to the computer both to transfer files and to charge. You CAN NOT transfer any files until the unit is fully charged, so plan several hours ahead.
-The on-off button is a cheap plastic piece. At least on my unit, it takes several tries before the unit will turn on.
-There is no scroll wheel, so if you're looking for a file in the middle of a list of thousands, keep pushing the down arrow and hopefully it won't accidentally jump you to the bottom of the list and you'll have to start over again.
-The manual is too simplified, and there is no tech support or customer service to speak of. I sent them an email and never received a reply.
-There's no place on the unit itself to store the stylette. The screen is touch-sensitive, so you could do without it, but again, for scrolling through lists the stylette can be handy.
-Does not have AM/FM capabilities
Overall I have mixed feelings about this gadget. It does have some capabilities (like text file support) that I really like. But I do find the first 3 points I listed under "cons" to be very annoying. And the price is still pretty steep compared to other products you can get on the market these days. I've never owned an iPod or Zune, so can't really compare. My previous player was a Sansa, which I liked, but I needed to upgrade to something with more memory.
ADDENDUM:
Thanks to the reply to my review by the Latte representative, I was able to get a hold of their customer service by phone regarding the file transfer/computer connection issue (see above). They sent me a new USB cable, which did not solve the problem. Then they replaced the player, which still did not solve the problem. But ultimately, I was able to solve the problem by using a USB cable I had from a different device. The new player they sent me still has the problem with the on-off button (takes at least 3-4 attempts to turn on), and makes a slight buzzing noise when the screen is on (sounds fine when playing music if the screen is off). I still give this unit 3 stars.

 DO NOT PURCHASE THIS! Sep 24, 2010
By Counter-Strike
This thing, for better lack of wording, SUCKS. The touch screen is awful, the stylus it comes with doesn't even really work as it should. I mean, it's a stylus, you should be able to get pretty accurate with where you poke it, but nope. I found myself having to switch back and forth between fingertip and stylus at times. When I tried to put it into "hold", the entire device would literally SCREAM into my headphones and crash. Despite all the features of this thing, it really is not worth the hassle. Thank god Amazon has a great return policy. I wish I had more constructive criticism about the faults of this thing, but I guess what I really want to say is DO NOT PURCHASE THIS.
