- Good points:
- Picture quality is excellent and the features are varied and very useable

Oscar, Reading/Berkshire gadget lover
- Good points:
- Ability to take all your multimedia stuff with you everywhere. Ideal for use mostly when travelling ie. watching movies whilst on a plain or on a train. All in all a brilliant entertainment device.
- Bad points:
- Although the sound quality is very good, in my experience, the volume level is not powerfull enough while using the device on a noisy environment like inside of a plane.
