Sounds like kids will have access to the e-reader... if this is the case, I'd stay away from the Cruz. The Cruz has internet access and since it does not have access to the Android Market, Velocity has included access to another App Market. This market is riddled with adult apps and content that is very easily viewed simply by browsing the app store.

It's this reason alone that I did not buy one for my God-daughter.

I'm still evaluating the unit I purchased for myself...

No AVI video playback.

Keeps telling me I'm out of space when trying to install apps greater than 12mb.

No Internet Flash video unless you use Skyfire app.

etc...
