More important points IMO.
Quote
The Bad:

    * Resistive touch screen takes some getting use to....
    * No native podcasting application for catching and/or playing.....
    * Maybe someone can help me out here, but I cannot seem to figure out how to play a movie from where I left off.  I use Handbrake and I have used different formats and deleted chapter headings from the movies but I still get an error telling me that the codec cannot be played.  Big Fail.

The Ugly:

    * most apps simply will not work because of the larger screen and resolution.
    * The AppsLib store is a complete joke.  When it loads the apps, the ones that are available are not even close to desirable but the user probably won’t notice them since the server is offline most of the time anyway.
    * When I put the device in suspend at times I find that it has turned itself all the way off.  No biggie, but when I want it in Suspend mode… then I want it in Suspend mode, not Off.
    * The included GPS app is very poor.  I used it with the 7-day free trial and it is barely usable.  Won’t be leaving my Tom Tom at home anytime soon.
