Vivitar's DVR390H, the 20GB 6-in-1 multimedia handeld
Look, we don't mean to be playa hatas, but we're not so sure about Ricoh's Vivitar DVR390H 6-in-1, which is apparently an MPEG4 camcorder, digital still camera, PVR, MP3 player, voice recorder, and—in a real stretch—a digital photo frame. The tiny 4.17 x 2.8 x 1.26-inch $1000 AUD ($700 US) device has a 20GB hard drive, 3.6-inch color LCD, SD slot, voice recorder, PVR-style video input for sourcing from TV, VCR, and DVD, and a 3.1 megapixel digital still via its rotating lens piece. But it really gets sketch when Ricoh states the lithium-ion battery "can capture an outstanding 15 hours of VGA movies, 24,000 high quality still images and more than 5000 MP3 music files". So it's not that we don't think it can do this stuff (well, we don't think it can shoot 24,000 stills in one charge), it's just that we get a little concerned with the quality when they spread a device this thin.
