Reviews of the GoVideo PVP4040 (128MB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Attractive design; large, bright screen; clearly marked controls; clever stand; records external audio and video.
The Bad: Expensive for a PVP with only 128MB of storage; extremely limited onboard memory; no bookmark feature; most video and some audio files must be converted; poor battery life; can't simultaneously read internal and external memory.
The Bottom Line: Much as we like the PVP4040's big screen and versatile recording capabilities, we can't get over its high price, its lack of a hard drive, and its numerous shortcomings.
