Disney intros Mix Max PMP, Mix Micro DAP, updated Mix Sticks

Mickey Mouse, you're certainly no Hello Kitty, but anytime you find a product worthy enough of your rare endorsement and seal of approval, we're sure gonna sit up and take notice. Following the success of such Disney-branded consumer electronics as cameras, MP3 players, videogame consoles, cellphones, flash drives, portable DVD players (those turned out to be especially hot), and even computers, the Magic Kingdom has decided that children and Peter Pan-ish adults are now ready for their very own PMPs, entering the category with a stylin' little player called the Mix Max (not to be confused with the Pix Max or Mix Sticks, of course). Available in several different "eye-catching" designs -- including Tinker Bell (pictured above and after the break), Forever Princess, and a Cheetah Girls model nauseatingly described as having a "funky, 'Tween Bling style" -- the Mix Max sports a 2.2-inch screen, 512MB of internal memory, and an SD card slot for storage expansion or playback of Disney's new Max Clip movies (High School Musical, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Lizzie McGuire, etc., etc.). Also announced were an updated version of the Mix Sticks DAPs (now with 512MB of storage and a rather confusing playlist creator dubbed "MixIt!"), along with a new portable audio player called -- you guessed it -- the Mix Micro (128MB, SD/MMC, WMA/MP3 support). The new Mix Sticks (still just $50!) and $20 Mix Micro seem to be available immediately, while you'll have to put up with your kids begging and pleading for the $100 Mix Max until sometime next month.

$99 is actually not a bad price for a media player with a 2.2" screen, 512MB onboard and SD expansion capability. Much depends, of course, on the screen's resolution and the overall functionality of the player. Provided those pass muster, and if one can overlook the Mickey Mouse layout of the primary controls (which should be easier to do with the chrome finish this model also comes in), the Mix Max might not be a bad choice even for those who are long removed from Disney's target kiddie set.

"Peter Pan-ish adults are now ready for their very own PMPs"
??? What ???
Who writes this stuff.

[TIMMAH! @ Sep 20th 2006 12:24PM]

Where the heck is Fisher Price in all of this with "My First PMP"?

[strider_mt2k @ Sep 20th 2006 12:59PM]

Snazzy looking device though.

And the artwork is cool.

[Evan @ Sep 20th 2006 1:47PM]

damnit, I know all these products have those "hidden mickeys", but i just can't find it! They keep making it harder and harder to find these days.

[Jeff @ Sep 20th 2006 8:21PM]

With Mr. Jobs as the single largest shareholder of Disney, this announcement confuses me a little.


...huh. maybe he's just trying to make an example by releasing yet another destined-to-fail competitor...

or maybe not. whatever.

So did you get the video to work? If so, how did you encode it. I am having a heck of a time trying to get that right. Thanks.
