Please let me know how you get on.

Of particular interest are -
Codecs - try it with everything you can get your hands on. Use gspot to
identify anything it struggles with.
Lip sync - Some units really struggle on some files.
Fast forward and rewind - Yes, it's 2005 and some manufacturers can't
handle ff/rwd through video.
User interface - fast and friendly or a dog that has only ever been
tested on a library of 6 videos and 30 songs?
