Its a good, if not excellent small player that is compatible with Divx, Mpeg4, MP# as well as JPEG formatting. With an 8.5 inch screen, it does appear to be quite a lot wider due to the placement of the speakers in that area.

Despite the extreme long life of the battery, it does not deliver 13 hours of playback time as Panasonic claims that it will, coming in somewhere under ten hours.
