It looks well thought out and fully featured.

If it were just 30% cheaper I would have one, but I don't have kids and I don't travel enough to warrant one.

Most important playback feature missed

It doesn't play DivX or XviD codecs, or its not listed as supported anywhere I could find on the manufacturers and re-sellers website. Without it, this is useless to most looking for a portable media player.

about the Xvid bit...

might have spoken too soon, but a review on Amazon.co.uk puts that it does have DivX/XviD support, but doesn't specify whether this is via the card reader, or DVD drive.

...two other 'features' that ought to be mentioned in any review of a DVD player (portable, or otherwise):

Is there a region-free hack?

Is there a UOP override hack?

DivX/Xvid is often indicated as 'MPEG-4', even though DivX is strictly speaking a 'bastard' MPEG-4.

Otherwise, this looks like a nice unit.

region free

also in the amazon review, it's mentioned as 'Multiregion' DVD. Also that getting the digital freeview to work when portable is nigh on impossible *surprise*
