Battery does not workTuesday, May 10, 2005
I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. MINE WORKS JUST FINE. BUT, THE BATTERY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT TO KEEP IT CONNECTED IN YOUR CAR OR AT HOME, FINE, BUT DO NOT EVER BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT TRAVELLING (BY PLANE, BUS FOR EXAMPLE). BATTERY LIFE IS OF ABOUT 45MIN TO 1 HOUR. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT BECAUSE OF THAT.

Horrible battery life and customer serviceFriday, April 08, 2005
I had minimal expectations for this product: that it run for long enough to view one movie in its entirety with a decent picture and audible sound. Well, the picture and sound were fine, but that doesn't do much good if the battery won't let you finish your movie. The manual states the battery should last 2.5 hours, but I found it to be more like 1-1.5. Then, I tried to contact GoVideo customer service and received an automated reply, which was unhelpful. I tried again, and they never responded. Luckily, amazon accepted the product for a refund since it was defective. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get something else.

Also doing pre-purchase researchSunday, November 28, 2004
Check out CNET.com. They have rated it higher than others, including the Polaroid PDV-0700. It seems only the expensive units come with an international charger (i.e., 120-240VAC 50/60Hz). Otherwise, the unit is "one-way" only on an international flight.
