The Vugo ($119.95) is a clone of the ZVUE ($99) (www.zvue.com) that was released two years ago with limited distribution and lack luster fan fare. The Hasbro device has a cool video game type design and a lot more features (records TV, 120meg internal, SD card upgrade, cartoon content, 3 inch screen). It will be interesting to find out how long rechargeable batteries last during a single sitting.
