Does anyone that owns the device use it also for music. Is it easy to navigate (imagine your mother that does not use a pc , and is 84 and arthritic) ?
I had a play with the music function last night. The touchscreen "buttons" should be large enough for her to control the play/volume levels etc. Its a pretty simple player. Has shuffle/repeat play pause stop and thats it. However the shuffle repeat only works for that particular "album" so if you like to shuffle all your music then you would need to put all the music in the same directory (presumably). I say presumably because I haven't gotten round to reading the manual

If her hand is not steady the only thing she might struggle with is the volume control slider - which you have to slide and not tap to change volume.

As others have mentioned it is light and easily held in one hand. You may want to invest in a case that also doubles as a stand so that she doesn't have to hold it as much.
