My 10 yr. old, of course, wanted an iTouch for Christmas but at her age, it would either get lost, broken, or left on a shelf to collect dust so this was the perfect substitute. The addition of the FM radio and the camera (2MP; typical cell phone quality) with the ability to take video via the camera was the icing on the cake. The eBook reader is another nice feature.
She can't put it down. She's used the voice recorder, the camera, the radio, and obviously, the MP3 player. She really wants to download a book and what parent can argue with a child wanting to read a book whether electronically or not? At Christmas, all her "older" cousins asked her "Is that an iTouch?" and she proudly stated "No, it's a V-Touch..." (Whew!)

Pros:
-8GB is 8GB. Plenty of space for everything. (Plus it's expandable.)
-Camera/Video Recorder. (Big plus for non-cell phone carrying kids.)
-Nice size screen and the colors are sharp and bright.
-eBook capability.
-Stylus included. (Which allows even me to use it.)
-Computer connection and file transfer is very simple.
-Price. For memory size and functions I don't think you can beat it.

Cons:
-At first look, it seemed fragile to me ("cheap"). After more use, it's not so bad. It is obviously not as solid as an iTouch but it's more than 2 1/2 times cheaper. Unsure if a 3 foot drop would be it's demise and hopefully I won't ever find out.
-Charger cord is extremely short.
-Battery life(???). It seems that the charge doesn't last as long as I think it should but my daughter is using it all the time so maybe it's fine.
-Headphones. Not the highest quality but those can be replaced.

Unkown:
-eBook. Have not used that feature yet.
-Movies. We have yet to put an AVI/MP4 on it but I am confident it will be fine and the screen size should be perfect for viewing.

It's a great buy in my book! No, it's not an iTouch but it's a perfect little MP3 player with a ton of extra features and functionality. We haven't had it very long so I will update if things change but so far, so good.

UPDATE: 12/19/2009
Well, what I figured would happen, happened... My, now 11 year old, daughter has lost ("permanently misplaced") her "V-Touch". Almost made it a year. Up until she lost it, she used it often. Never had a problem though. She was afraid to tell me that she lost it until after a couple weeks; it must have been tearing her up inside. In any event, I am glad I didn't get her an "iPod Touch" (Wouldn't want to offend anybody by calling it an iTouch...) It worked perfectly and was a worth while investment.
However she has iPod Touch on her Christmas list again... Oh, boy.

Reviewer: Tina Chen,
good: sound quality. like the radio. plays movies. good camera. good touchscreen. interface is really good too.


bad: scrolling down songs is hard (greatest issue). have to convert to avi. need adjustable earphones. takes longer time to charge and put files in.

overall: i compared to ipod nano. ipod nano may be a bit easier to use but once u get used to the v-touch u'll like it more. also it costs half the price for 8 gb and has a lot more function 5/5 stars
Great media player with a reasonable price

Reviewer: Hon L. Chan,
I love my V-touch. It does everything as advertized. The sound quality is great. The video is sharp and clear. After you spent sometime to learn how to use it, you wouldn't want to let go. I also love the expandable slot alllows you to add 4gb of data. This gives you a lot of flexibility to play your video and/or music. It is a very well built machine. The technical support is knowledgable and helpful. They responded to my questions very quickly. This help a lot as you try to learn to use the V-touch.
The only problem I have is that the usb cable does not work with my Window Vista system. But it does work with my Window XP system. Why? It is quite a puzzle. I hope someone can help.
excellent quality and value lots of entertainment

This thing is absolutely adorable. I'm sixteen, and I needed something to listen to when walking home from school since my ipod stopped working. So I bought this device which I recieved today and its smaller than I thought! it is so adorable and it can be held in the palm of my hand easily.
The interface on mine is different than on the picture, but i think its still cute. They may have had to change it b/c all of the patent issues going on with Apple.But I love it,im syncing music onto it now (: It is very resposive to one touch and the earphone quality are great.I've also tried to listen to the radio and it was awesome. So anyone looking for music on a budget,please consider buying this product.! Please comment me if you have any questions.
