Hi, bobcat,
After doing quite a bit of research, I just today purchased the iRiver iFP-795 which is identical to the iFP-790 except for the memory being 512 MB. I talked with an iRiver tech who said he had spoken to a number of blind users using the iFP-700 series. He also said that the latest firmware, version 1.25 now includes adjustment of playback speed. I also particularly wanted the ability to record direct from the FM tuner which the 700 series has. I completely reviewed the user manual for the 700 series and found it to be particularly unhelpful. I expect to get a lot of initial help from my son when I first start using it. I am trusting the operation and menus are predictably accessed and can be mostly used without sight. Check with me in a couple weeks or more to see what I have learned first hand.

I've heard on this list that the Iriver IFP-790 is easy for VIPs to use. I see they also have a model called the IFP-190. I wonder if it is as good and or easy to use. It is currently being heavily discounted at www.futureshop.ca
I just reviews the messages refering to the IFP-799 and now wonder just how frustrating it might be. Perhaps I should look around for one of the NextWay players instead.
