Enjoy the freedom to store and play back photos, videos, and music--all without being tethered to a computer--with the Wolverine MVP-9120 multimedia viewer and storage device. The MVI-9120 offers a built-in seven-on-one memory card reader that acts as the perfect companion to any digital camera.

Once the card is empty, you'll have plenty of space to add more photos or audio files. Of course, the MPV-9120 is far more than just a storage device thanks to the built-in high-fidelity MP3 player, 2.5-inch high-resolution color LCD display, and integrated text and photo viewers. The MP3 player supports a host of audio formats, including MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV files, while the video player handles Motion JPEG, MPEG- 1, MPEG-4, and XviD formats. The text and photo viewer is no slouch, either, with support for JPEG, TIFF, BMP, TXT, and RAW (select digital cameras) formats.

 Good (not great) for the digital photographer May 9, 2008
I have this little red brick and use it very frequently. I'm a photographer so the only function it serves for me is backup and viewing of JPG and RAW files. I've never looked into the audio or video aspects of it. For my purposes, it gives great piece of mind at weddings or long shoots because I can unload my CF cards onto it and then look over them. It displays RAW images, which is a must for me (Not available with the JOBO Spectator).
Now the drawbacks...
The card reader is weak. The Wolverine can accommodate a lot of different media but at a price. The space for the CF cards can also fit other cards so the area is not completely snug. Because of this, I have misaligned my card a few times and bent some of the pins when I pushed it in. I carry tweezers on me to fix the pins (a huge and difficult P.I.T.A.) because the unit can no longer read the cards when the pins are crooked.
Also, the battery life on the unit has reached almost nil. I've had it for over a year now and I must carry the charger on me every time because it will not last through a few 4Gb CF cards anymore without dying. Generally I can find a safe outlet during events, but I wouldn't count on it if I were using it for long trips camping or traveling.
 Motherboard died after a year, no warranty left. March 23, 2008
I purchased this for a trip to Italy. It was great while it worked.
Even used it as an MP3 player. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it didn't die on me after using it only 3 times. It was in brand new condition, well taken care of but for whatever reason, the mother board went on it after 16 months. I sent it back for repair and they wanted $229 to fix it. Hardly seemed worth it since you can buy a brand new one for a little more. For me, it was a total rip off experience. I will never buy or recommend another Wolverine product again. Not only did it fail right after the warranty ended, but customer service did nothing to correct the problem except to want more money from me. I won't be surprised if others end up with this same problem. Look at another brand. This one is not reliable.
 Not an MP3 Player June 7, 2007

If you're looking at this item with the idea that you're gonna use it as an MP3 player, my advice is to look elsewhere. This is a dream come true if you're big into digital photography or taking DVD's and TV shows with you but it's just awful as an MP3 player. It has none of the familiar functionality of your standard MP3 players [I have a Creative Zen Jukebox], like playlists or synch software. Playing MP3's is just awkward and cumbersome. Don't buy this unit if you want an MP3 player but do buy this unit if you're looking for an excellent portable unit to store, share and view digital images, videos and the like.
Run from this item!!!!! May 7, 2007

This player basically does nothing but make its owner jump thru hoops. Can you say work around? That's what you're in for. Can't play most formats. I haven't found a video format yet that it will play. Try creating a playlist and you might end up throwing it thru a window.
Why doesn't this company create some software to run this player like everyone else does?
The interface is made for a baby's fingers (e.g., the not so joyful STICK)...AND .....the remote will give you Carpal Tunnel from repeated pressing over and over with no results.
ZEN's and IPODS are a pleasure to use after this thing...WOLFIE is way over priced for what you get...
CONS: Everything about it. No redeeming qualities..
Pros: Still looking.....but I've pretty much given up.
BUY THIS IF YOU want to be frustrated...
I would give this a zero star rating if I could.
Many QA/QC issues October 27, 2006
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
I bought the 80 GB version at the end of July, 2006 in advance of a three week trip to Europe. My family takes lots of pictures and I was hoping this would be able to store all of those pictures. The first unit I received did not have any operating software loaded onto it. Yes, you heard me, the thing had no operating system. Wolverine sent me a replacement unit, but I had to pay to ship my original unit back to them, and then pay for expedited shipping to me for the new unit (I was leaving in 2 days). Strike one. The new unit arrived and worked pretty well. It certainly isn't an easy user interface. If you're not technically oriented, it would be frustrating. The buttons and joystick feel flimsy, and the red plastic shell is almost embarrassing. One of the features I was really looking forward to is the ability to plug the MVP into a TV to view the pictures you've taken. Well, here's the QA/QC issue: the unit shorts out when I plugged the cord, provided with the unit, into the video out jack. It just shuts down. As soon as I pulled the cord out, the unit is up and running again. Good golly, for $300+ I want a working, reliable unit. It's almost as if the people at Wolverine had a good idea, but didn't have the capital to put together a good product. Hire some software guys and test the units before you sell them! The software in the unit sucks, QA/QC stinks and to top it all off it is ugly. I returned the unit.
