I have a number of concerns relating to having to manage their use in the Closed, including:
[list][*]Extremely slow usage of SD cards (we're talking over 1-2 minutes some times to transfer 6k of data)[*]Unreliable battery remaining displays[*]The above actually lead to four instances of the devices dying in the middle of a game with absolutely no warning[*]Batteries charge very slowly and don't last for very long in game situations[*]The screen is sometimes too sensitive and will record a "double-click" far too easily[*]The devices are limited to SD cards of 256 megabytes or lower - becoming impossible to find these!
