The Bottom Line:
If weight and size are more important to you than battery life and screen size, and the myriad of card slots, useful, you will be extremely happy with this device.
I have been using this unit extensively for 6 months. I travel about 150k miles a year and used to watch TV and movie DVDs on my laptop but needed external seat power to be able to do this. Also, I found it impossible to use the laptop in coach due to the tight space so had to resign myself to what was being shown. A portable player gives you choices. Laptops are not designed for long play of DVDs which consume a lot of laptop resources. I bought this unit for my wife originally, but it now never leaves my laptop bag! I take it on every business trip and also carry a fresh collection of DVDs in a small case.
I tried out the xD slot on the front of the unit to look at some photos I took on a Fuji digital camera but the resolution is too poor to make this an enjoyable experience. I think, only people without a computer of any description would use this feature.
I love this unit - it is compact, durable and the sound is clear and dynamic. My minor complaints are that the screen display is somewhat small, a little dark and resolution not terribly crisp and there is no indication of battery power. The unit flashes a battery warning and then dies very quickly. On my last business trip, it accidently fell off my seat table, DVD tray lid opened and my DVD went flying through the air. The unit was absolutely fine much to my amazement! I carried on watching the DVD in a few moments after a fellow passenger helped me to retrieve it. In terms of battery life, I can watch around 4-5 hours straight on a full-charge. Easily 8 episodes of a show like 24 which is plenty for any 6-7 hour flight. Recently on a 10 hour flight to San Francisco, I was wanting for more battery power but for most of my trips, this unit is great.
Finally, this player is a good blend of size and battery power and since I only paid $150 for it, fantastic value. I therefore wholeheartedly recommend this unit but strongly recommend buying replacement earphones like the Bose QuietComforts to make the most of the dynamic sound of this unit.
