Not one to complain, but ...

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: Research your purchase thoroughly before buying. I didn't and I am paying the price.

Not bad so far

Date of Review:  May 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Low price. Big screen. Good battery life. So-so quality. Would buy again. Overall rating based on price/value only.
Review:
After about 2 months of having a 7 year old using it about three times a week, we use it on the ride to swim team practice, the unit has been trouble free. The only problem is that the screen doesn't stay up very well in the car carrier I have...

The worst electronic product I have ever purchased

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2005
Review: I have now returned 3 in the past 10 months. This product is junk. After 1 month I returned one because it had these weird bars at the top of the screen. After 2 months, the next one did the same thing. A few months ago the screen stops on loading...

IDM-830 Died Twice in Six Months

Date of Review:  May 10, 2004
Review: We got this as a Christmas gift, 2003. The picture quality and sound quality was fine for about one month of very occasional use. One time it just stopped playing...totally black, no sound. We took it back to Circuit City and they exchanged it for a...
