    If you look at the Amazon.com reviews on these things you will find a LOT of dissatisfied customers. Having played around with one of them myself, my thoughts are..

    Not enough ram.
    Beautiful (but fragile screen)
    Camera is low low res..
    The bottom button starts sticking
    There's a high pitch scream from the florescent (sp) screen.
    It wouldn't install or detect on Winblows XP..

    Other than that.......
