I just got my Caanoo and it does seem to take a LONG time to charge. It also doesn't last as long as my Wiz which I suppose is understandable because of larger screen, etc. It just seems like it takes more time to charge it than to play it. Who knows, I might have messed it up by not initially charging it properly, but I am pretty sure I didn't do anything I didn't do with my Wiz when I got it.
