Bought for child; Commandeered by parents:
Like most reviewers, we bought this product to entertain our toddler on lengthy car trips. We'll be the first to admit that it has really become our toy. We watch a lot of television shows and movies in the DivX format, so this was a "must-have" in our feature shopping list when searching for a portable DVD player. The fact that this unit accepts such files on DVD, SD memory card, and USB flash drive put this one over the top. For more permanent files (such as movies-to-keep and children shows),... more info

Upgraded from a pet1000 to the 1030.
1030 more flexible. can fold screen over and use like a tablet

it's okay in my book...:
This unit came in handy when we used it on a road trip for our 2 year old daughter. It kept her occupied the whole trip. The car kit was very easy to set-up. Mounting and removal of the unit from the car kit was a breeze. The quality of the movies when viewed from the device is nice or even above par from what I've seen at Best Buy and Fry's Electronics. Overall I'm satisfied with this device. The only reason I giving it a 4 star is because the screen kept falling away from the unit. The magnets that keeps... more info
