Toshiba's new prototype media player at CEATEC

Speaking of CEATEC, Akihabara News also spotted a new prototype of a Toshiba portable DVD and media player at this year's Japanese trade show. All we know for now is that it supports DivX files and has a 1Seg tuner for your Japanese terrestrial digital broadcasts, but it we're always happy to add more methods of media retrieval to our ho hum standard def optical disc portables. Oh, and it comes in a shiny black casing, if you're so inclined.

The 'enter' or 'return' button seems to have a bit of a counter-intuative image design on it. I realise my 'enter' key on my laptop has the very same icon, but still it looks to me more like a 'back' or 'cancel' button rather than 'OK'.
