Consumer review (epinions.com)

PVR is good value for the money.

Of course there are the drawbacks that everyone has discovered: Poor documentation regarding the video recorder (remember TV Out), the battery door is flimsy, controls are sluggish, on board memory is quite low. Really, what can you do with 32MB? Sound...

Price, expandable memory, multiple functions, overall sturdiness, decent screen

limited on board memory, flimsy battery door, poor quality voice recording
