I wasn't familiar with Axion as a brand but have been impressed with the basic quality of this device.

About 10 years ago I had a 2.2 inch passive matrix Casio LCD and became very aware of its limitation when not looking directly at it or in sunlight conditions. This one's active matrix or TFT, I believe.

I should have this for "free" when I receive its rebate, because I bought it with a laptop at CompUSA. Target sells the AC/DC adapters from Axion for about $20, but they charge both tax and a significant shipping charge.

The "B" Adapta-plug from Radio Shack fits it perfectly, but wasn't included in any of the multi-plug sets I had. The spec sheet calls for 500mA, but I am using a 300mA single voltage (6V) AC/DC converter with a previously owned set of four AA NiMH batteries, and all seems well. The recharging circuitry seems to work OK and also seems to make this item more "premium."

I seem to notice electrical "noise" in the audio with in-ear headphones, but not when using the speaker, and not when using batteries in either situation. The "B" plug should probably work with other Axion products.

I like this one. I bring it with me almost every where so i can watch my favorite Soap during the day.
