Well I'm not impressed with Pic24 starter kit. Even after calibration the touch pad sensors leave a lot to be desired in terms of sensitivity. I'm not sure whose anatomy they used for the touch sensor size, but I think I need to have hamster size fingers to use them easily. It will not recognise any of my USB flash drives, my 256MB is reported as 'Connected to Hub' and that is all, my dodgy 8GB is just not recognised. To cap it all, without thinking I opened up MPLAB which promptly erased the demo program. Gives me a chance to look at the firmware I suppose and work out why it doesn't like my flash drives before reprogramming the board.
