(More customer reviews)My kids love the V Smile system, so when I saw the V Smile Pocket and knew we were going to be taking a long car trip to Canada - I knew this would be a worthwhile investment! Using the A/V jacks in our entertainment system in the car, the kids were able to play using the 10 inch screen in the car with sound from the car stereo system. We've got about a dozen cartridges at this point, so there is something for everyone. Even the not-quite-two year old enjoys watching the screen as her 4 older siblings play! We're still waiting for the AC adapter to become available, but the batteries seem to be working fine for now. The screen is crystal clear, and the colors are great. Since my kids are new to the hand-held game experience, it took a little practice to get used to the joystick/thumb control - but even the 5 year old had it down in no time! Enthusiastically recommended!
Update: The above was written on August 9, 2005, and someone wanted to know if I still felt the same way now that some time has passed - glad to respond! We did have a problem with a second unit that we purchased (with 5 kids, 1 unit wasn't going to cut it!), but the company was quick to replace the faulty unit with a brand new one. Today is March 4, 2007, and our V.smile Pockets are still going! Occasionally they will not start up, but usually pressing the reset in the back takes care of it. Another thing my kids discovered is that sometimes blowing some air into the cartridge or into the slot in the machine where the cartridge goes will make everything function normally. Can't explain why - can only guess that perhaps a bit of dust might be removed by the blowing. And we get plenty of use out of the AC adapter that did eventually become available. Hope this will satisfy your curiosity - and yes, we are still happy!
