    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Price and convenience: it just works & is cheap as chips. I've not been able to get it to work on Linux, but both Windows XP and Apple OSX (older) work just fine. I've tested this on older and newer machines, several laptops and desktops and all bar t...
    Cons:
    Only a little bump and more related to the PC (more properly the account) it was attached to: running XP an older IBM 'office' ...

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It just works! Says it all, really. Managed to squeeze about 18 roms on it, still had space so got Moonshell & DSOrganise (either will do the trick by the way) and now it can play mp3's & converted movie files, as well as view pictures. I think Mo...
    Cons:
    None found as yet, had it a week with absolutely no problems.

    It works, was surprised

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Well, it finally came after a few hiccups with suppliers - still not too bad at under a month. Because I'd done so much reading on it, I was prepared for the 'steep learning curve', but was pleasantly surprised that I got it winding up on the third try. To ...

    Got it!

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    I really like it's compactness, and the price of course! Has plenty enough space to put tracks, pics, some videos (still testing this, need to convert them first) and is more than suitable for my little one (she's 6, I was hassling us for the brand-name one...
    Cons:
    The packaging came a little broken up, but while that's an issue if I were giving it as a gift, it's not so important. What wa...
