I picked one of these up today. Got them to check the cartridges. They only had 2 in stock - both "Kids next door".

I have loaded a couple of mp3s to try and they play fine, however, I have not managed to get it to display any JPEGs. Do they have to be a particular resolution or put into a sub-directory or something?

I have had no problems with with pictures,I just downloaded ones i had on my pc,
but I have had a couple of problems with mp3's I can download most now(by ripping them through the juice box mp3 ripper,but a couple that I have downloaded came up on the juice box as "not in stereo" and would not play,think I have sorted it by just ripping from a disc straight into the juice box download folder,I was having problems when trying to downlad straight from the music I had on my pc.
But I have to say my daughter loves it.

got one for my daughter (6) she loves it, and for a little over a fiver not much to lose really.

have loaded her "read along" disney books and she sat on the sofa all of yesterday evening reading her books.

it's still a bit of a novelty for her at the moment so we will she how long it lasts.

Thanks to the OP, I have just reserved one for my DD1, another birthday present to put away! Other than ebay and Argos does anybody know anywhere else you can get the cartridges from, or is ebay and Argos pretty much it?
Thanks

Just collected one from argos Eldon Square. Seems robust and will be ideal for read along books and songs. Card reader will be useful for camera cards as well as it takes SD cards. Could also use it as a USB disk drive as small enough (I have a multiformat card reader normally attached to the computer)

it seems ebay and argos are it for this country, I have looked on usa Amazon and they have some,I have emailed someone who is selling them on there to see what they have and how much shipping would be,I'll let you know when they reply.

if you have more than 1 argos in your area check with them aswell for different titles

What titles have people managed to find (and where)?

I will kick off the list:

Kids Next Door (Argos: Farnham, Surrey)
