Great for Travel
My 4 year old little boy got this for his birthday (about a month ago). We took it the next day on a 14 hour car ride. This was such a hit. He loved that it was more like his cousin's Nintendo DS with the pen. Even my 2 year old likes to play it. Great product and so far no problems even though it's been dropped and I keep thinking they are going to pull the pen out, but they don't and it works great. I love that it can hook into the TV as well, so there's no need to buy both the regular v smile and a pocket. My kids fight over it, so I'm going to get another one for my little girls 3rd birthday in Oct.

Vtech V.Smile Cyber Pocket
My 5-yr. old son loves his new Cyber Pocket. He had the original Vtech V.Smile console, that for no reason at all died this past summer. The Cyber pocket plays his previously played console games and came with a new alien game, which is all very fun to him. The product runs on batteries, which Vtech surprisingly includes the first set for ready play. However, the batteries do not last long for extended play and rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use by the Vtech company - not sure why. So my suggestion would be to by the wall plug adapter to save on the waste and money spent on batteries over and over again. My other complaint is that the screen came with a scratch on it already and should come with a plastic protector sheet since it is used by children. Another suggestion is that the volume and screen brightness adjustments are located in the very front where the product gets rubbed against the stomach occasionally and therefore adjusts the controls without wanting to. I placed a small piece of scotch tape over them and that has solved this issue and is easy to remove if future adjustments are needed. Overall my son loves it, plays with it often and even loves it more than the console since it is so portable. As long as he is happy, I am too.

problems...
has anyone had problems with the cyber smile shutting off while playing it or not turning on at all? i have exchanged it three times and they all stop working while my kid is playing with it and then don't turn back on at all....just wondering if i found all three defective ones or if anyone else has the same problem.
