Why did we choose the innotab? Because of it's video playback capabilities, and the fact that the cartridges you purchase often have 5 different activities for the same price as one app on it's closest competitor, as well as expandability with SD cards. Of course, this is a christmas present, and I'm so excited for christmas. I just spent the last 2 hours playing with the Innotab and finally decided to pack it back up and tape it up so I can't play with it anymore :D I easily removed the Innotab from the packaging and replaced it just as easily.
The download was easy, I have Windows 7 and a 10g connection, but it literally only took a few minutes, the longest part was the upload of the updates thus far, and that only took a minute. I went to vtechkids website and registered it, set up my parental account, and my daughter's account. Then I spent an hour uploading music to the 2GB SD card(not included, I cannabilized my camera lol) and playing with the various functions. I absolutely LOVE the fact that it has a stand built right in. There's auto shut off if nothing happens in 8 minutes, and it goes into a modified sleep mode after it's been left for 4 minutes.
The consthe screen itself seems a little iffy, but that might just be me, personally(touch screens and I have long agreed to disagree), and this particular case seems really flimsy and cheap, more of a decorative cover than functional. Maybe when the Easter Bunny comes to town, we'll buy the hard case(cause I sure as crap ain't paying more for the hard case than I paid for the innotab, eh?) and I'm not too sure about the reader yet, but that was only one sample book, I didn't spend the 3 coins that came with it, I figured I'd better let her pick what things she wants. Everything in the store is 1 coin atm, but it's all 1 item, you HAVE to buy cartridges to get the premium character items, and we haven't gotten any yet. Theoretically she'll be able to earn more coins by completing certain games, we'll see how that works after christmas.
I don't have a tablet myself, and I'm actually jealous of my 5 year old. Lol. I'll be back if any glaring problems present themselves.

The Innotab is what I am having problems with. Can it be returned ? The batteries have been changed at least 5 times and she has only played on it for a total of around 3 hrs. What can be done to fix this?
