I have received a box which probably contains a #tangara
initial #tangara thoughts:
- it's smaller than I expected in two dimensions, but also thicker. I've become very used to electronics that are huge thin slabs. feels very solid though. I could throw this at someone and it would probably hurt which is a desirable property for electronics
- volume buttons are really easy to press. that's probably going to be an issue throwing it in a pocket/purse? will wait until it actually happens
- torx screws, my beloved
- I read the whole manual including the boring legal stuff in the back so @jacqueline's effort was not in vain, you're welcome
- ooh that SD card cover thing is very clever. whichever one of you came up with that should be proud
- touchwheel is kind of jumpy and unresponsive. unsure if this is a tangara problem or a me problem, my phone's touchscreen also has trouble with my fingers sometimes, I may just have anti-capacitive fingers. turning the sensitivity way up helps somewhat
- thought the USB was broken, but no, I have found ANOTHER USB CABLE WITHOUT DATA LINES WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY OF THESE

FYI, the switch on the right side isn't just a power switch, it's a key lock. If you're listening to something and switch it on, the screen turns off and the device won't respond to button presses until you unlock it again (but continues to play your music).
