"very impressive, just need to train to feed the dog"
Pros: fairly easy to use, wonderful picture, great toy!
Cons: accessories were very slow in making it to market & misleading (see below)
Summary: this is my 3rd PMP - another HD large screen died after just 4 months of fairly light usage (thank god for extended warranties as i got my money back when it was found irreparable, but still!!??!) but by then i found this one and at 80gb, it held 4 times more than the other... i wanted the 160gb but couldn't wait any longer as i was leaving town but figured i could return exchange this within 30 days for the 160 - but even fully loaded, i've only used maybe 15gb, and that's my entire CD collection plus video. unfortunately, i am having problems with converting some of the torrent movie downloads (many play on Real only and even DivX cannot convert others) but hopefully i will figure that out too... overall, i am in love with this - found docking station at WalMart (yeah i know, chinese slave labor but hey, sometimes you gotta go with best price, sorry!) for $25 less than elsewhere and long before most websites even had it, altho i got the travel docker first before discovering it does not allow viewing, only record function, and PC adapter is not necessary either as orig packaging has cable adapter included as well as "optional AC adapter" (so all you really need is the dvr docking station, and i have heard you can manage without that too if you're smarter than i?) so i am a very happy camper and well prepared for upcoming lengthy back surgery and recupe time!
