      This device sounded too good to be true. Then I read the ama.zon reviews:

      *Mixed experience so far, from awesome to awful
      *Traffic integration is not a strong point
      *Not what I hoped it would be
      *Worst Product in the Market. Product heats while charging

      Than I decided it was too good to be true.

      Yeah, I'm tempted to just ignore the reviews and buy the snake oil. Maybe I can delude myself it works great and wont overhea and explode.

      If you come in with low expectations, this is a nice toy and an OK GPS. If you think it's going to be Linux hacking web browsing Youtube watching awesomeness ... save your money.

      It seems like an awful lot of functions crammed in there. If it would also give foot rubs, I'd be in for one...

      Check out ill-logix(dot)com/forum for info on putting XP on this device.

      It looks like there is a lot of potential. The XP installation was done after attaching a USB keyboard.

      Google "clarion mind running windows xp" and check it out!
