While the product works well they don't tell you it costs 100 dollars a year in addition to the 50.00 advertised price for the hardware itself.

This thing was MADE for IM freaks. When you take the device out of the box, you first notice the strong construction and heavy weight. It's not a toy nor is it built like one.

i bought 2 for these kids (ages 8 & 9)and they absolutely love it. works great, i have total control who they text and IM. i love the fact that it only works i internet hotspots and not everywhere so they are not on it all day and all night.i also love the music player. i loaded 200 songs on the SD card and it still has a lot of memory left. the kids love it and they no longer ask for cell phones and ipods.

My kids do use these for instant messaging though...not as often as I would like considering that I paid the original price of $150 but they do use them. It's nice that they can take them any where in the house instead of having to be at the computer. ... Read More
