yep it has a screen. battery life is half an hour less than the standard stone at 9.5 hours and it has an fm radio with a choice of 32 pre set stations - it isn't clear from the description whether this means 32 customisable presets or whether the unit comes pre configured with 32 channels which you can't change so that for one requires some closer investigation before considering this unit to my mind. it also has some extra frills such as a visual stop watch and customisable controls, pressumably so you can quickly access your fave features. in terms of ease of access it looks to me like a step backwards compared to the 1gb model.
