It would look pretty useless on a small screen though. There are many cellphones avialble with similar features that can also be used as phones. This device reminds me of a 3G phone without the real-phone capabilites. VOIP is great but most people would need a proper mobile line that works no matter where they are.

Negative, at least not anywhere in the near future. I might consider it somewhere down the road once they fix some flaws on the Wizpy itself and in the registration process/ClubWizpy website. I also am skeptical about having to send it off for battery replacement. You can read a review here.

wizpy ships with various alternatives to boot into the OS including cd-usb and usb.

I am a re-seller and personally using one. Love it minus the storage space.

I read about this player in Linux Format Magazine last month, and it looks interesting.

devarshi, how easy is it to use! The reviewer in the magazine thought it was a bit clumsy to use.

In an ipoder's hands its clumsy. Otherwise great to use. the thumb falls right on the buttons. And the UI is easy to scroll through.
