Great expectations, big let-down - BenQ JoyBee 720

First of all, the 720 is just blatantantly huge. Seems as if they could have fit an 1.8-inch hdd into the casing, which of course comes with a nifty SD expansion slot (and a removable battery, from what we could see) - but still, this thing is big. Secondly, the unit comes with a color screen but the main menus and playing screen look like 1984 Space Invaders from DOS-kind of items. Almost no point in using a color screen this way, expect for the picture browsing.

Whoever came up with the power switch must have been having a bad day as well - it's a combined on/off/hold slider. Want to switch the player "on hold" to prevent accidental operation? Just move the slider to the right... but not too far, because that will cause it to shut down. Arghr - reminds us of the eDigital O1000/Mpio HD100 (2.5 years old).

They forgot to get HCI sign-off ...
