SO close to perfect...
Pros: * Excellent screen quality. * Great features, good price, small tablet form factor. * A/V in and out. * Includes cables and car charger. * Plays DivX/Xvid off SD and DVD flawlessly. * Built-in FM transmitter - cool for the car if you don't have an AUX input. * Decent battery life - ~2.5 hours playing DivX off DVD.
Cons: * USB port just BARELY too slow to play most DivX files off external hard drive. * Some 16:9 scaling issues, haven't pinpointed it to exact problem, may be 1.2 pixel ratio. Still watchable. * NEED the remote to do almost anything.
Overall Review: If the USB interface were a tad faster it would enable playback off of external hard drives. So close! Other than that, the unit works exactly as advertised and is wonderful for the price. I wish I would have had all this info before ordering, however given the other market offerings this device still seems best. Hopefully there will be another version in the future that can play from USB w/o problems, or can play from wifi. Burning to a DVD+-RW or copying to an SD card isn't too inconvenient.
Excellent Mouse, HORRIBLE Keyboard Issues
Pros: * EXCELLENT mouse, perfect, tracks incredibly well, fast response time. * Good build quality, lots of features, many buttons on mouse and keyboard.
Cons: * MAJOR problems with the keyboard. Can't type while moving the mouse, noticeable lag even with normal typing. * Gaming IMPOSSIBLE. * Internal rechargeable battery on the mouse, not user accessible.
Overall Review: I have tried everything to resolve the keyboard issues. Already RMAed it once, not resolved. Tried different system, differed operating systems, USB and PS/2. I think Logitech had a bad batch, please rethink buying this until more information is available.
