Hi all. Just bought my iQue less than 24 hours ago and I've been happily playing away with it.
So far, I'm mostly impressed with it but I'm very disappointed with its apparent current inability to play MP3's without freezing. A quick search of this board revealed that my problem is not unique.
So, in an attempt to fix it, I install Pocket Tunes. Though not officially supported for this device, it is so far performing like a champ. I'm on song 12 right now and it's working perfectly.
This brings a measure of relief to me since this would appear to indicate that the problem does not exist in hardware but is simply due to poorly written software. Garmin seems to have a good track record with providing extensive updates to their products and hopefully the iQue will be no exception.
Later today it will go on a bike ride with me for some more MP3/navigation testing :)
