JiWire's quick take
Likes
Affordable, compact, fairly easy to set up and immune to viruses, good way to port photos to TV, ability to switch quickly between TV and Internet.
Dislikes
Awkward keyboard-based interface, slow, sometimes cant see entire Web pages without right scrolling, frequently buggy operation, spongy keyboard, limited video selection, video quality not as good as on typical computer.
Good for
Computerphobes who want basic email and Internet access, plus media playback, without a full PC.
Bad for
Power users and those who want top-quality multimedia.
