A GOOD GIFT
1 of 1 found this helpful The DVD player is the same as one purchased at a major department store at just over half the department store cost. Durabrand makes good qwuality home intertainment electronic products, the DVD player is very user friendly, compact and easy to transport. All the accessories are easy to understand and work properly. It was a great gift for a friend.

A Shame It's Outdated
For some the size of a portable computing device can be to small, making it nothing more than a novelty. The MP 780 for me is just right, smaller than the average laptop and larger than the average hand held. The keypad is large enough to prevent double-keying or having to use a pencil and "hunt & peck" entries. The touch sensitive display is a plus, the stylus stores out of the way and is easily removed for use. Being able to network wireless with a desktop or laptop makes the MP780 a versatile means of having access to data on a conventional PC. With a wireless phone service account the 780 can be a handy means of accessing data stored in your home PC.
Like all things, technology has made the MP780 limited in desirability. Since purchasing it I have tried to find an extra battery for it and have been unsuccessful. I use Windows XP on my home PC and haven't been able to network the MP780 with my home PC. The lack of hardware and operating program upgrade capability limits the MP780's compatibility to Windows 2000 or older.
Even with those limits I've found with my MP780, I still find it to be a handy way of accessing the internet when away from home, and it is turning out to be a nice means of communicating with others via e-mail or just web surfing.
