(More customer reviews)The unit is not bad for its ability to charge the ipod while on DC and for its decent and very customizable IQ with videos. The photos don't look good on its LCD screen at all due to blowing out of highlights and distortion of color. The audio is OK, but not great and there is a picking up of the drive's whine and noise that most of the time gets through the speakers at the highest volume settings you will need. I used the Ipod 80GIG video and it fit in the iFlip OK with the 60GIG bracket that came with the iFlip.
As for Tiger Direct, I had to call 5 times to arange for the return and full refund with a call tag due to a bad pixel on the screen! Every time someone said a different thing and 2 people promised me to issue call tags for return. Both did nothing. On the fifth call I got lucky and spoke with a nice guy who has just assured me that he will issue a call tag and gave me his extension number for future reference. So... they do have some good people working for them, but what a hassle this has been! We will see if they come through with the refund for the unit that came from them with a dead pixel. I will post a follow up if and when they do!...
As to the unit, I suggest buying locally and checking it out thoroughly and with a return policy.
It is also not small nor light, so don't think you will carry it along in your pocket of the coat or jacket. This is for these times you go on the plane or the train for a long trip. The audio and video can be just as easily connected from the ipod to any TV or monitor so you don't need the Iflp to do it although it can. Enjoy....

The iFlip may look like a mini laptop, but underneath the lid sits a whole newworld of video possibilities. Open the iFlip's cover and you'll see a universal dock on thebottom that holds and charges select iPods, along with an 8.4-inch widescreen LCDdisplay for video playback. The screen is ideal for watching stored iPod movies onplanes or entertaining the kids on long car trips, plus it offers an easy way to share yourfavorite digital photos with friends without hooking up to a full-size TV.

In addition, the 75-degree horizontal viewing angle and 70- degree vertical viewing angle lets fellow passengers see the screen without strainingtheir necks.
