    "Sweet but not Perfect!"

    by ant0n1o on April 1, 2005

    Pros: It does 95% of its job

    Cons: pop email dont work for hotmail, yahoo or gmail pop3 accounts

    Summary: Overall I love it and am glad I bought one. . Plays video,music and games flawlessly. and email on location using dunkin dounts or starbucks WiFi to log into my gmail account using opera web browser.I am always on the go and at different locations so the sher portability of the pma 400 is priceless. You can even swap in any usb keyboard to type out long emails. Quick mention that the pdf viewer works but is slower the watching 14K modem load a webpage and the lcd just isnt practical for pdf viewing.
    in short It does it all!!!
    (well almost, at least its better then anything any other company is putting out )

    I ordered one this month... I had to change it because the batterie never got charged..

    They changed it.. the whole PMA (by the way, the user support does not work)

    I ordered an extra battery... now it charges them 100% but they last 2-3 hours instead 9 as they say

    moreover, when the battery got empty or you change it, it resets the internal clock and you have to set the date again

    once the mp3 player got crazy with one album until I reencoded the entire album again..seems it didn't like it

    the video player does only work with divx5.11... no possibility of load new codecs.. you have to transform the avi with virtual dub and it does not work very well... no possibility of use another player.

    I could not use the wifi card yet

    I has too many wires for the TV/VCR.. you can order a small one (18$)

    the USB does not charge it... it gets more power from the battery connected!

    new games are not available...

    what else... oh yes.. when u use the alarm... it remains with the external speaker active so you have to turn it off before playing music on the bus


    summing.... 600 euros to the bin
