Since Christmas it is sitting around getting obsolete... I have computers throughout the house so this sits around and everyone looks at it, and plays with it a little and says...cool! but I don't see what they are good for. I think they came up with this because they wanted a piece of amazons "kindle" market and by making a device that does more than just read books I guess I see its worth. But since I don't read electronic books and really don't listen to ipod music much I see it ending up in the heap of obsolete gadget crap I have in my basement closet. I should have returned it but now that it is used and all set up I will leave it in the kitchen counter and let the kids play with it. I may bring it on the boat and use it to surf the net if I can get free wi-fi someplace.
The chart ap is cool on it but my unit does not have an accurate gps chip like my phone so my phone is actually better.

I loaded the xfinity ap and tried using it as a remote control but I have to upgrade all of my set-top boxes for it to work. You can watch a movie on it if you find a wifi location that allows free streaming video.

I think it is more "hip" than anything else, really not much more useful than what is done via phones and exsisting devices.
