Its difficult to know where to begin when describing the short-falls with this device. Lets start with the feature which is likely to be the most reliable... USB transfer.

Seems to work well but NOT really easy to set up. All seems to go OK but then glitches and have to start again. Information is available online but not easy to use format so questions go unanswered. It would be better to have a manual included with the device which had a detailed index for specific questions. An online FAQ is too cumbersome.
