Not a great device, slow and sometimes freezes and restarts.
Transferring video films is not smooth, slow in identifying, and if you have your own home videos, you can't set a photo on the start screen. It should do that automatically. Also, it doesn't categorize video VOB files properly.
All in all, I was not happy with it. I was excited and curious about this device, but in the end, it was a big disappointment.

Geen fijn apparaat, traag en zit soms vast en gaat opnieuw opstarten.
Om video films over te zetten gaat niet fijn, traag met indentificeren als je je eigen thuis filmpjes hebt kan geen foto zetten op het begin scherm. Dat moet ie automatisch doen. Ook video VOB files categoriseert ie niet goed.
Al met al ik was er niet blij mee, was al verheugd en benieuwd naar dit apparaat maar uit eindelijk zwaar tegengevallen.
