 Love this for videosNov 22, 2009
By John D. Steere
I can understand the frustration other reviewers might have had with this player -- for the first hour I felt the same way. The written instructions are so bad they're laughable, but once you pick up the basic button functions there's not much else you need to know. Just look at the pictures, don't try to understand the written instructions. I love the size of the screen and had no problem with the video converter (in fact, I use it to convert many videos to avi even if I'm not putting them on this player). And at its current price I don't know of another player with this size screen, memory, and SD add-on. Great for watching movies, clips, or anything you throw at it that it can convert to AVI. I'm surprised at the decent quality of radio reception (note that you have to use the headphones to use the radio because the headphones act as the antenna). Great for sharing pictures with friends. One drawback, it seems that only the supplied headphones will fit in the player . . . other headphones do not seem to go in the provided hole. Maybe there is an adaptor to make other headphones work. So I don't use this for mp3 play because the headphones are only average (recommend the Creative Zen for mp3 play). Also make sure you have the USB cord fully inserted or else you can't add files. Once the USB is fully connected, you can add the files with drag and drop (for video files, after using the converter). But I can't say enough about the size of the screen and the ease of adding movie files. Did I mention how much I love the size of the screen?

 Neat Little PlayerNov 05, 2009
By Steven
Huge Screen, low price, long battery life. Excellent value for the money. Screen is a little dim even on the brightest setting. Depends on what you're watching but sometimes night scenes are a bit murky. Navigation is difficult, you have to hit the power button a couple of times for it to start up, the SD card is kind of tough to seat. I use my fingernail to push it down into place. If you have trouble with the conversion software that comes with it, do an internet search for vidrop, a free program that will convert movies to various players such as this one. This is an excellent price for such a big screen. I only use this to watch movies when travelling. If you're not familiar with this type of player you may be disappointed in the picture and sound quality. This is not an I-pod. If you are familiar with this type of player then you will be amazed at getting such a giant screen for such a low price. I've had mine for 6 months with no problems.
Excellent value at $25Nov 01, 2010

I got this last Thanksgiving at $25 shipped. I read the reviews and kept my expectations low, but I bought for a 4 year old to watch Scooby Doo during the 500 mile trip to and from daddy's house for visitation. Ding! Winner. Somehow it has survived a full year although I am not sure how much longer that will be. 2 complaints. 1) There is no sleep mode so if you pause a movie while making a chicken nugget or taco stop, you just lost your place in the movie. 2) Not really a complaint I guess, but the 2 GB limit on SD cards is pretty weak. Still you can save quite a bit between the on-board storage and the extra SD card. So bottom line: if it goes on sale for $25 again, get it as a cheap distraction for your younger kids for your next road trip!
Great PMP for the price.Jun 20, 2010
By Boomer
I got one about 2 years ago. I had it Thursday at the doctor's office and ran fine...had it in my pocket with my camera, and today went to get it, and neither my camera or my T30 work, and my T30 has a cracked screen. I am generally very careful and don't remember any rough use, but they both don't show a display. So now I have bought another T30 from a vendor here.
Great little device....just be EXTRA, EXTRA CAREFUL WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!
Still looking for another Cobra Digital PT2000 Camera...
I'll never be without one of these, ever.Jun 19, 2010

I have had my Nextar PMP for just over a year and I have had not one problem. Out of all the toys and gadgets I have ever purchased, this is my all time favorite. For under $50 I got everything I could ever want in one fun, easy to use PMP. You would not believe the people that see me using it, on the plane, waiting in the Dr's office, waiting for our table in a restaurant, at the hair salon. Name it I don't leave the house without it. At the salon, the girls will ask what I'm doing on it today. It's so cool to be able to say, watching a movie, reading a book, listening to music or looking at my vacation pics. It charges fast, the battery lasts a good while and the conversion software is quick and esy to use. I read other people's comments, listing problems and how hard it is to use and I am shocked. I would and do recommend this "GEM" to everyone. Folks can't believe the versatility, they are shocked at everything it does. The screen is the largest out there for this type of device. I have one issue and that is that the auto page scrolling feature, even at the slowest rate is too fast and I'm a fast reader. Hopefully they'll have that corrected before I have to order my next Nextar. Thanks for a great product.
