NEWS: Toshiba SD-P2800 Portable DVD player - via MobileWhack.com
MobileWhack alert us to a new portable DVD player from Toshiba.
Toshiba Japan has announced the introduction of the new SP-P2800 portable DVD player - a truly decked out DVD player. The player has a display capable of 800 x 480 resolutions and a viewing angle of 170 degrees all around.
The SP-P2800 supports DVD-Video, and DVD-R/RW in VR mode. You’ll also be able to play back MP3, DivX, and WMA files stored on CD/CDRW discs. The device includes a 14 bit/108MHz video DAC for high quality picture conversions.
One final tidbit - the SP-P2800 has a built in 4 in 1 card reader (supporting SD< MMC, Memory Stick, and XD picture cards). MP3, WMA, JPEG, and DivX files can be played back directly from these memory cards onto the player. There’s also tuners for television, CATV, and FM Radio.
It’s that last paragraph that is most interesting. Will we see a merger of devices so that portable DVD players will also sport hard disks? This suits us fine as sometimes you don’t have the time to rip a DVD to watch on a HDD based player. But you’d still have the ability to load the player up with the kid’s favorite movies for that long road trip.
