I've owned all three versions of the Zip Clip. I bought this one because of the extended battery life and bigger screen. I was disappointed that the firmware took a big step backward on the Sport. Most disappointing is that the music memory doesn't combine internal and external sources. You have to choose between the card or internal (4 or 8 GB) to shuffle. In my case it renders the internal memory useless because 8 GB is not enough for all my music, so I bought a 32 GB card and ignore the internal altogether. Next, the larger screen is a non-benefit since the new firmware won't show album covers like the older versions. Sound is good and battery life is great, but the shuffle tends to repeat songs a lot. I like the Zip Clip players, but this is not the upgrade that I'd expected. It's still about the best of the bunch for the price, durable and convenient but if you have the choice of a Clip+, the older one is the better player.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does the screen stay on the entire time or does it blank out after a few seconds?

Not a big fan of the huge screen - preferred the old Clip +'s as it was simple. I'm thinking the bigger screen probably drains more power - how long does it stay on after a button-press?
The screen time is about the same as the older versions and I believe it's user adjustable. It doesn't seem a affect battery life since the new design has MUCH longer battery life. THe older versions lasted 6-8 hours on a charge, where I get about 20 hours per charge on the Sport. The screen size is somewhat moot since it only shows a scroll at the bottom fo the screen with the song info.
