The review is here: http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/7031/

And here is the guy's conclusion... enhanced through Babelfish :D:

Pros:

Pleasantly readable baffle
Sharp text reproduction
Significant solution for people who must take along much information, such as doctors and fitters
Good design
Size and weight are exact good

Cons:

Apparatus is not yet finished, some functions not yet work
Considerably expensive
Service is just as gets used
Speed is still a problem
Sparing accessories, for example no simple beschermhoes

Whats a "baffle"...? :blink:
From OED:

1. Disgrace, affront. Obs.
2. A shuffle; quibbling, trifling. Obs.
3. Confusion, discomfiture, check. Obs.
4. The state of one who is baffled or bewildered.
5. = BAFFLER. Also, any shielding device or structure, in many technical uses (see quots.); spec. an acoustic screen.

baffle, n.2
1. A worn-out horse.

Take a pick :D

I think it's this one, based on context.
