Final Word:
Everyone seems to be making MP3 players these days. The pod is the next step up from them. It is probably one of the first of the next generation media players with larger high resolution screens that are also capable of playing all of the latest and best codec's around.
Overall I rate this device very highly. The only stumbling point may be the price tag attached to it. It is a lot of money to spend on one device especially when you also need a computer as well to get anything onto it.
Having said this though this is the best mobile device I have seen. The sheer number of features it has along with the range of formats it can handle enable me to give it the top award of the CDFreaks Editor's Choice. If you want a new mobile device for pictures and movies then this is it. Accept nothing less.

Positives And Negatives
I don't understand very well the question. Actually, XviD is a MPEG-4 encoder, not a new format. I guess there is confusion between codec and format here. XviD-encoded files can be played with a lot of players that can decode MPEG-4. for instance, the ffmpeg MPEG-4 decoder is enough to read efficiently XviD files under Windows, Linux or Mac.
So if DVXPOD has a problem to read XviD files, the problem lies elsewhere.
Archos AV700 anyone!? this have been around for years AND plays XviD. This thing is retailing at £399, it three years too late I'm afraid!
