Philips PET830 and PET1030 media players

Philips has some new unannounced media players to take on the go: the PET830 and PET1030. The PET830 (above) is a tablet-style DVD player with an 8.5-inch display and a Zero Bright Dot warrantee (i.e. no dead pixels), as well as having the ability to play MPEG-4 and DivX video, and MP3 and WMA audio files from its CD. So far as we can tell the PET1030 (pictured after the break) is about the same, but with a 10.2-inch swiveling display, and USB 2.0 as well as a memory card slot. Watch out for these real soon.

It is a smooth looking machine but I would prefer internal memory (best = flash) plus wifi in order to watch on the couch or while mobile, and without hauling around battery-draining shiny disks - that's so 20th Century.

This would be ideal if it had some photo viewer features like the Epson p-5000. Imagine being able to view raw files on this size scream doing a photo-shoot out on location!
