Caveat Emptor with this one!
Pros
It looks pretty cool, and it's small.
Cons
Reliability, battery life, and warranty issues make the Inno a very expensive paperweight.

There are some serious problems with this radio:
1) Reliability is terrible. Mine went to a "Scanning Files" screen - PERMANENTLY, after only about 7 weeks of use. It won't do anything, it can't be reset by removing the battery, and the USB port is dead.
2) The battery life is terrible, when the radio did work. If you're lucky, it may last an hour, but most times, much less. It seems to use power even when it's switched off, and left in the charger.
3) Pioneer service is horrible. They give you an 800 number to call, however it's only an automated system. It gave me the number of a local authorized service center, but they said the Innos are not repairable - just exchangeable by the dealer. My dealer won't take it back for exchange because I've had it for more than 30 days! So much for the 1 year Pioneer warranty!
Stay clear of the Inno!
