I have tried a few of this internet media tablets now and, in my opinion, the thing that makes them so special is their size and weight. A laptop or notepad could do a very similar job. However, it is not very easy to put a laptop in your pocket.
Anyway on to the product:
Picture quality
For it's size, quite impressive, when I bought this I was expecting something along the lines of a phone screne, but it's more along the lines of a PC's. It's really clear and has 800 x 480 pixel resolution with 16 million colours.
5/5
Sound quality
Obviously something this size isn't going to be packing a surround sound, but it's speaker is pretty loud and clear. However, since this is designed for on the go, the sound quality is pretty much going to depend on the level of headphones you use with it.
4/5
Ease of use
Well it's a touchscrene for a start. It is amazingly easy to navigate, sporting a well-designed title menu. Furthermore, there isn't really an instalation process, it's pretty much just turn it on and off you go.
5/5
Look and Design
It certainly looks cool. This actually turns heads when you're using it on a bus or train, and I've even had the odd brave person come over and ask what it is and what it does.
5/5
Range of Features
Pretty good, it has:
More memory than you, or at least I, will ever use with 320GB storing up to 400 movies, 3.2 million photos, or 190,000 songs. I mean who gets time to watch 400 movies or listen to 190,000 songs? and as for 3.2 million photos...
A die-hard battery, playing 39 hours music and 10 hours video playback time on a single charge.
Video support for MPEG-4, M-JPEG and even WMV which many portable media players don't, sparing you the need for nasty conversion programs when you are transfering from your PC.
Audio support for MP3, WMA, Protected WMA, WMA pro 5.1 and WAV
You can also get plug-ins for further audio and video support.
5/5
Durability
Not bad, although I wouldn't recommend playing baseball with it. I've dropped this a few times and it still works fine. And, even though it's a touch screen, the screen doesn't pick up fingerprints easily and there is no need for wiping it incessantly.
4/5
Value for money
A tad expensive at prices that would fetch you a pretty good notebook, but worth the price.
4/5
