Who should get this player:
Ok this player is big, well big in the category for portable media players, but it is ideal as an extra video screen for watching videos on your desk, in your car and would be really fun on long commutes or while traveling.

Good screen and good video playback, certainly a good, large screen player.

The actual case of the player is hardly what would be called high class, in fact its pre
