1)Good as any I have come across, viewing angle isn't great but this isn't a TV I always view straight on anyway.

2)Again fine for occasional browsing, get Opera mini loaded on, do watch out for viruses if you use the browser a lot and as Android becomes more common, viruses WILL become a problem.

3) Easy after you have played around a bit, no need to bother with the instructions, unless you read Chinese.
4)Not so light, anyone know how much a G sensor weighs?

5) You need quite a big pocket, but probably worth it, they don't come any smaller than 5" with wi-fi anyway,apart from the phones for some reason, it also has a built in G sensor but no tv-out, never saw the point of tvout myself, I prefer a set top box anyway.

Btw FileExpert is a good free file manager that can transfer stuff from your PC
with wi-fi.
The built in loud speaker is quite good too with no buzzing or rattling at high volume.
here are a couple of good open source music players which work well
cubed or "3"

and the ultimate music player, the one I shall be using
Rockbox!

Nice to at last have a device that you don't have to resort to hacking to enjoy.
btw my son has claimed this and ditched his ipod touch, so I have had to order another for myself, same spec but a different model, so expect yet another review!
