Wish I would have purchased this earlier

 

This may be a MP3/ player however; I purchased this for its additional functionality. I work on the road and with wifi nearly everywhere I can keep in touch with work, family and friends, have access to e-mail, documents and the internet without having...

Just ok, not great

 

I returned this item to Best Buy. I bought it because I watch video podcasts on my daily hour-long train ride and while my Zune HD was awesome with video playback, the screen was a little too small for my liking, but the iPad was just too big, so this...

Great all around tool

 

Great device, good battery life, very nice (but sensitive) touch screen. I bought it as a MP3 player but it fills the gap between a PC & a IPad device. I found that I can add a cheap Bluetooth OBD II interface to my car and monitor all of the car's...

Lots of features & runs Android

A little slippery to hang on to, I added a strap

Great multi-purpose device

 

This mini-tablet is great. I use it as a PDA, MP3 player, movie player and gaming device. The screen is bright and clear and the volume is loud. Since it's an Android device it has the same user interface as my phone, a Samsung Galaxy SII. The wifi...

Great as a video player or mp3 player

 

A quality digital file player for $190, this is a steal. I would recommend using the free MX player app instead of the stock video app (from the app marketplace) on this device. Other than that, the 5 inch screen is plentiful for personal video watching.

SD card accessibility

Typing can be troublesome
