A fine, low cost media player

Good:
Low cost, reliable (at least so far) and plays DVD-Rs burned with files in DIVX/XVID format as well as standard DVDs. The SD slot is great, though I haven't tried HDSD cards in it yet.
The battery holds several hours worth of charge, and the speakers while not great are better and louder than what you usually get on a little media player like this.
You open the disc bay by sliding the screen forward.
Not so good:
The unit is a bit heavier and bulkier than many other portable units. The screen is probably better protected on media units with the fold-up clamshell design than this tablet style approach. A second headphone jack would be nice and is included in most other media players, but not this one. I wish the media player took a USB jump drive rather than an SD card.
The user interface/menu design could be a LOT better, but it's no worse than on other media players I have played with.
Overall, the Phillips PET723 is a fine media player for around $100.
