CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8.5

out of 10

View score

The good: Sound quality; easy-to-use Web browser and interface; screen quality; virtual keyboard; PDF support; runs on Linux.

The bad: Many features require additional payment; no FM radio; no slot for stylus.

The bottom line: A terrific media player and a delight to use. The optional plugins should be included as standard, though. That aside, full video support, a fully functioning Web browser and the sharpest screen we've seen make this an absolute killer gadget and a media hoarder's dream.

Brilliant AIO!

Nov 9, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great screen. Great sound. Great surfing. Great networking
Cons: A trifle thick. A wee heavy.
Opinion:
Brilliant All-In-One entertainment machine with internet surfing to go. Pay for the add-ons though.
Further ups the ipod by having video recording. No itunes in Asia, but mobtv can be synced to this device. The audio is simply fantastic. Ups the PSP by having huge capacity and much better on-board speakers. Component out capability like PSP slim. Can network and stream music and videos from your PC to you Plasma screen and sound system in this manner.
