Comment:

I mostly use this for music listening - my own collection and internet radio. Good sound for a portable and easily customizable with the equalizer. GPS works great - both Google Navigation and other GPS apps. Contrary to the review, it does support Audible files thru the free Audible Android app. Great for watching movies using supplied headphones or bluetooth headphones. Lots of supported apps on the Android market - Kindle, QR scanners, weather, some games (not the HD ones), Bible software, etc. As with most portable devices, wireless/GPS use will drain the battery quickly. Highly recommended!

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
