Received my Besta MT-7000 today, that's 4 or 5 working days from Singapore at reasonable shipping rate, that company is not bad at all.
The Besta seems to be quite cool, it charges on a USB cable so if you're travelling with a laptop, no other power supply needed. The casing is solid, no creaking or unsolid feelings, just the front bezel is lacquered and I wonder how that will hold up with time (although maybe I'll learn Mandarin fast enough not to need the device anumore when it gets tired). The lessons are great, MP3 compression is just a tad harsh but acceptable. Headphones are included, although I'm not sure volume will be sufficient to pass some time on the plane, but some lower impedance headphones will correct that. It comes with a protective pouch that's really nifty except when you want to access the stylus, good screen, watch the scratches when hand writing on it!
And well, it is fairly light but a bit too big for a jeans back pocket. Great buy all the same!
