And it is a nice device. But despite the 1660 MA battery – the battery life of the 9502 is not very good." "A charge lasts maximum a day with my usage. That is 1/2 of my E90 – and I use them in the same way." "Then I checked the Micro SD. And what a sunrise – only supports standard Micro SD – no capacity higher that 2GB. Come on i-mate – this is 2008 - and 12GB Micro SD cards are available. My 8GB SDHC card does not work in the Ultimate 9502." "The screen is nice though – but gets damn greasy – and does not really work well in the sun. Even though it is nice and bright indoors – outdoors you can hardly read it on highest brightness settings. And this is despite i-mate HQ is in a very sunny city of Dubai." "The Power button has problems as well. Very hard to press to get the screen to turn on. It is in an awkward place for most people – and really annoy me. After pressing it it takes 0.5 – to 1 second before you have any reaction." <strong>Ouch</strong>. Tariq, I love a good VGA device, but it seems like the 9502 may just be troublesome. :-/

Kinda gave up on VGA devices due to their generally slow performance (the Glofiish M800 that I reviewed earlier on seems to be the exception). Maybe when they have dedicated graphics chip, I might reconsider them. I kinda prefer the 8502 to the 9502.
