Pricey, considering the price of low res screens and batteries these days this should be way cheaper. Hell you could probably put one together with a raspberry pi for half the price.

Dodgy ****ers. How the hell are you going to do a UI demo and then jump cut every time it needs to load some content?! God I hate **** like this, they know full well they've got a turd on their hands but they're still going to flog it off to the unsuspecting.

When I went home my family had like 3 of these and a few ipads for photos.. so much radiation at night.

Might as well buy a tablet imo..
