Citiwide MP4-010: Portable media player with removable drive

citiwide mp4010

With hard drives continuing to come down in both price and size, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a portable media player that would allow you to pop drives in and out as easily as you swap flash cards in a digital camera. From the looks of it, Hong Kong's Citiwide Technologies has done the deed, though their MP4-010 looks like an OEM job waiting for a customer to put a brand name on it. While we're not keen on the idea of having to carry extra drives around to enjoy our video library (it sort of negates some of the convenience of a PMP over a portable DVD player), until we see a terabyte 2.5" drive, something like this could be a good option for those of us with lots of audio and video to take on the road.
