    Oh, might have reservation on this, the price is to low, no memory and you will end up with a door stopper. Research pcpro magazine.

    I know it's cheap, but it's just a toy. If you had said it was for a 5 year old then it would be ideal.
    Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!

    I wonder how Play expect you to "check out the latest videos on YouTube" with a browser that "doesn't support flash"
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
    Now 20% cooler
