For half the price of most of the others? I don't see why you would be expecting stellar. And I like the build quality. I've heard people say that it looks cheap, but I've let it in the hands of the 1 year old daughter of a friend, who also stepped on it on one occasion, and there have been no problems.
There are some issues, at least with the g8. One thing is the fact that if if you have the brightness of the screen on minimum, the screen doesn't turn on when you take it out of sleep mode. Problem solved by not having the brightness setting to exactly minimum. But I hope that they solved these things with the new gen.
What I do love about their marketing strategy is the fact that they have many options for the devices, so there are enough options for screen size and disk size.
