Anybody have a pocketdish?

[suerapp]

Thinking of getting one-what model is the best and what do you like about it?

Got the 7" Model & I have a 942 works great downloads fast.

I also have the 7 inch model and LOVE IT. This is one product that the marketing folks at Dish have really not marketed well that really does work as advertised.

I don't leave home without my 7" pocket dish...

My 7" works great, I hook it up to the tv in the hotel room and use the remote. The picture looks good on a 19"-27" tv.

Can you copy music over to it using your pc?

 

[jbcheshire]

Yep..

 

[nuts4scuba]

Yep..

Cool. I think I will look into getting one.

Just out of curiosity, is the Pocketdish covered under the DHPP warranty?

Never mind, just answered my own questions:

I have the AV700e and for the most part I do like it. I just used it on a business trip last week and I got a number of questions about it. It is very well built and the travel charger is fairly compact.

I was wondering what you other owners thought about the screen resolution.

Pocketdish vs

I went to Sound Advice today and looked at the Archos AV700 which is similar to pocketdish-just to get a feel for what the thing is and how it works. I was disappointed in the display-had to tilt it to see and it doesnt have a kickstand.
Also couldnt get the audio up loud enough (neither could the salesman) which means you have to always use ear buds.

I got the Pocket Dish AV500 (4" screen) and am very happy with it. I use it often traveling on business and despite any shortcomings (every type of entertainment unit has some) I'm really pleased with it.

The AV700 comes standard with kick-stand. The one you saw was either broke, or the sales guy couldn't find it...

The audio quality/volume is also determined by the settings for which the item was recorded WHEN it was recorded on the unit's harddrive. The audio out isn't great I grant you, but most of the time you will be using headphones with the unit anyway...

I have the 402E and like the pic quality although not as good as my video ipod.
