Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Note: the only reason I gave this product 1 star is because I can't give it zero (or a negative rating).
I just had the unfortunate experience of trying to get a "me2" handheld to work.
I spent an hour on it - an hour I'll never get back - and I've come to the conclusion that this product is just NOT ready for prime time.
1. the markings in the battery case are back to front - if you follow those markings, you get batteries in backwards, and the handheld won't power up
2. it won't connect to a mac
3. when connected to a windows pc running XP, there is no autorun - I eventually hunted for a setup.exe and found one.
(This was the hardest step - the instructions around this step are in that odd "translated-from-Chinese" language that's impossible to interpret).
4. I still can't get to connect on-line - I'm prompted to install macromedia shockwave 10.1 from the browser - that won't install automatically - when I install manually, I'm offered Adobe shockwave 11.1.
After installing Adobe shockwave 11.1, the browser still says I'm missing a plug-in.
5. I can't download games for the handheld - when I click on that command, I'm told it's "coming soon"
So I can't download games (the handheld comes with just 1 simple game), and I can't play on-line (because of a shockwave plug-in mismatch).
And it's taken me an hour to get to this stage - the on-line help and documentation is spotty at best, phone help is only available 9-5 Mon-Fri EST, and the documentation and help (both printed and on-line) are full of spelling mistakes and uninterpretable instructions.
In short this is a shoddy, far-from-complete piece of work, which is absolutely NOT ready for primetime.
Final kicker - I wanted to e-mail this rant to assistance@me2universe.com, but the e-mail was rejected with
mailbox unavailable or not local (state 14)
Sheesh.
