Pros:
Short Learng Curve, Instant Stats |

Cons:
Order of buttons not thought out. Another reviewer said:
I think this product needs a few improvements, but in all it is a strong value proposition.
Here's what I would improve if I were in charge:
1. A higher resolution screen so that the GUI could present more information.
2. Macintosh compatibility.
3. The PC cable should be included. As it stands, the cable and PC software costs nearly as much as the device itself.
I say:
As far as the higher resolution goes, I wouldn't want the print to be any smaller, especially if you have to deal with direct sunlight otherwise you would be hard pressed to see the readout.
Concerning issue 2 & 3 I have no comment because I did not purchase the software.
However concerning the unit itself, I have noted the following improvements which will allow me to grade this product 5 stars.
Noted suggestions for modification to the eCaddy.
1. The clip should remain, however the eCaddy should be attached to the clip via a strong pull cord. This will allow quick and easy interaction to the eCaddy. (I have to suck in my gut to work the eCaddy while it is on my belt.)
2. The order of the "Hole/Par/Handi" buttons should be switched to "Handi/Par/Hole". Again, this will allow for quick and easy interaction to the eCaddy due to the respective position of the "Player" buttons.
3. A thin plastic slot simular to the "Player Name Slot" should be added to the back of the eCaddy so the user can insert a card with the abbreviate names of selective Golf courses. It is very difficult to remember the name of #1, #2 ~ #10.
4 THIS IS A BIG PLUS AND SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONSIDERATION: The players default score should automatically be set to the value of par for the hole.
This will certainly please the user of the eCaddy. Currently, I will preset the values before we tee off because I know No One will get a "Hole in One" on a Par 5 hole. It is very unlikely that they will get a "Hole in One" on a Par 4 hole and it is rare to get a "Hole in One" on a Par 3 hole. This way it is possible to not have to be as busy with the eCaddy for many holes.
Before this product came along, I had created a spreadsheet that I uploaded to my Palm Pilot which worked well but was very difficult to read in the sunlight and tedious to use the pen to keep track of the scores while keeping up with the pace of play.
As far as the price is concerned, I feel it's about right if you were able to purchase the unit locally. Depending on who you purchase it from, after shipping and taxes you may spend close to $60. I would feel very comfortable spending $50 tops for this product.
Nonetheless, the eCaddy was a definite blessing.
