    Pros: Wifi connectivity, touch screen, image viewing, somewhat easy to use.

    Cons: Terrible interface, out dated wifi protocols such as WPA. Slow, and dump menu setups. No firmware update since 2005!!! Not user friendly to say the least. No wired network connection. The device itself doesn't have a headphone jack.

    Summary: Philips should have recalled this product years ago. Its over-priced and over rated. Unlike other philips products, this unit is very neglected and unsupported. The firmware is very old. The interface is horrible, and the unit is pain in the neck. I would definitely go for a well supported product such as Logitech Harmony 1100 as a universal remote control and a Logitech Squeeze Box as a media player. I am a big fan of philips products, but on this particular one, I give it 2 thumbs DOWN!
