It has a lot of potential, but as it is right now it isn't complete. Perhaps with future firmware upgrades it will mature or even with Rock box, but as it is right now I cannot recommend it. I think a lot of the problems stem from the Android OS... Because of the Android OS it is buggy and has horrible battery life. However the screen is gorgeous, and the sound is as expected. For me, the real deal killer was the battery life though... If the D3 had 50+hrs of battery life I might have a D3 instead of a J3... I have experience with android and am sure I would have been able to fix the bugs fairly quickly with the help of some modding, rockbox, or some other method.
Thanks for your thoughts on the D3. One other thing ... I really want to have one rig for audio and video. I am commute on the train in Tokyo and have used two rigs in the past - one for audio and one for video. Do you think the J3 would suffice. I do like the larger screen on the D3 and the video and of course audio quality. I am a bit torn to wait on the D3 to fix the issues and drop in price or pull the trigger on a J3.
