Well I don't own one yet, but I've been considering it. The dvd experience
may be lost on a 15 minute car ride, but on a 2 hour flight, it's just fine.
This is a lesson I learned from my laptop before I had to give it back to
my former employer :-(. As for the audio experience, that's what a good
pair of headphones or earbuds are for. As well as, for the screen, if I do get
one, I'll be using either the Olympus Eye-Treks or Sony Glasstrons. This
gives you a real sized (looking) screen, and good sound.
for a portable system, pretty good (though pricey)
