Score 9.0/10+ superb clarity of picture, would be 10/10 but colours very slightly lacking in vibrancy but this might just be that I have not set it perfectly yet (brightness, contrast and gamma al independanly settable)
- freezes on occasion but recovers if left to auto power off. Battery slow charge, quick discharge. Needs the separately sold charger.

Score 9.0/10+ Although its not as trendy as the i touch, it has the features of the i touch but with an expanable memory so is much cheaper and better.

Score 7.0/10+ very portable, very sharp images, the colour,and brightness can be altered which is handy

No file name to images when displayed ,it also would been nice to charge the unit without a PC
most gadgets now come with a charger.the usb cable is far to short to plug into a PC and have the unit on
the work surface at the same time
I only had the item 2 days when I had to download an update file to bring the unit back to life and reformat the drive

Pete, Portsmouth
Score 10.0/10+ Awesome display. Flexibility - some optional plugins needed for full range of features, but you only need buy them if you need them, rather than having to buy unwanted features in your initial purchase. Quality build.
- Battery life could be better.
