Review on iLuv i1166: A Versatile 8.9 Inch Portable Multimedia/DVD Player with iPod Dock by Kaushik Inlawker

While this product has some great advantages while also having many disadvantages, it seems that its design and construction somehow carried over into production. There is a NEW product (from other companies), they all want to be the first to use the new technology (e.g. IPHONE). Let's start PROS1 - it has the biggest screen of any DVD player 9"2 - it has a good remote control (most don't have one)3 - it accepts and plays movies from IPOD/IPHONE4 - it receives and plays movies from both USB CONS1 - you can not fold the screen when you turn it off to protect it (it opens and closes to protect DVD and IPOD/IPHONE2 - the screen is very delicate and prone to scratches, fingernail leaves marks 3 - Remote control seems to have more functions than built-in buttons 4 - No menu function if you have multiple movies on USB or SD card, no fast forward or skip 5 - SD card slot only accepts up to 2GB SD card (not HD compatible ) 6- the IPOD on screen menu is so simple and slow not to mention difficult to navigate 7 - it only accepts ONE format (DIVX) on the SD and USB film inputs and nowhere has been marked , which videof ormat and what encoding to use (I had to spend 3 days to understand it)8 - t tech support sucks, the people who answer you don't even know what the product is. All they do is read you from the supplied manual (and that sucks too), in my opinion wait for the best JWIN model to come out, not the best tech company out there, my built-in ALPINE DVD -Main unit can do more than that. Even though I paid 1000€ for it
