in I wanna buy it or do it
This looks like a bargain and since my budget was £40 I was interested -

any thoughts - I'm not sure if £40 is just unrealistic to get a decent one?

    It has been reduced from £70 so should be pretty decent. I'm on the look-out for one too, preferably one that can play music with the photos if desired.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Check the resolution.

    For the best clarity, look for the highest resolution. A typical ‘Wide VGA’ (WVGA) resolution is 800x480.
