It doesn't play DivX or XviD codecs, or its not listed as supported anywhere I could find on the manufacturers and re-sellers website. Without it, this is useless to most looking for a portable media player.
might have spoken too soon, but a review on Amazon.co.uk puts that it does have DivX/XviD support, but doesn't specify whether this is via the card reader, or DVD drive.
also in the amazon review, it's mentioned as 'Multiregion' DVD. Also that getting the digital freeview to work when portable is nigh on impossible *surprise*

It looks well thought out and fully featured.
If it were just 30% cheaper I would have one, but I don't have kids and I don't travel enough to warrant one.

...two other 'features' that ought to be mentioned in any review of a DVD player (portable, or otherwise):
Is there a region-free hack?
Is there a UOP override hack?
DivX/Xvid is often indicated as 'MPEG-4', even though DivX is strictly speaking a 'bastard' MPEG-4.
Otherwise, this looks like a nice unit.
