> No offense, but these aren't exactly stunning reasons why I should drop BetaPlayer.

Of course not, we don't suggest that you "drop BetaPlayer", but we provide another choice, and also for FREE.

It is also good to be aware of some issues with Betaplayer that can affect your battery life.

> Choice is great, but the potshots taken at BetaPlayer don't do a whole lot of good for the PR of your product.

That was not the intent. The Betaplayer developer is aware of this problem, and he will fix it. In the mean time, you should just know that the 2700G remains powered up when Betaplayer is de-activated, so it's a good idea to Exit it when you don't use it anymore (i.e. don't tap the (x) button, but select EXIT in the menu).

If you don't, you will drain your battery faster.

No one wants you to stop using Betaplayer, but PocketTV can also be used to play MPEG and it works well too and both can co-exist (and are FREE!).

PocketTV has also a number of features that do not exist in Betaplayer, that some people like or want. e.g. http streaming, image capture, color adjustment while seing the image, frame stepping etc. And there are MPEG files that Betaplayer cannot play and that play just well on PocketTV.

Complaining about FREE software is unjustified. We give one more choice to users, and choice and competition is good.
