Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read all the bad press on this item but it's mostly by those wanting desktop performance in a handheld. First as the other reviewer said it is mainly an ereader meaning it won't do Adobe Photoshop CS5. It's a little weighty at 19oz but most books I read tend to be heavy as well. The web surfing is perfectly fine if the wifi connection is a good one. The screen resolution and color is better than most tablets at this price and size, 800x600. I do a lot of photography and just love that I can set it in the stand on a shelf or table and watch a slide show or just display my latest to friends. Just load your jpegs on an SD card and put it in the card slot. If you have a wifi network at home make sure the SSID, that is the name of your network, is set to broadcast the Pandigital won't be able to connect if it is hidden. It's a great piece of equipment just make sure you have the latest firmware installed to get the most out of it. After doing the calibration using my finger on the screen works fine. Had a Kindle but the Pandigital is years beyond except for the 3G connection (always need a wifi connection to access the Web). I would recommend this item.
