CinemaNow all growed up, has its first PMP on the way from Zoran

Deets are slim at this moment, but Zoran is prepping a new OEM PMP that's designed to party down with CinemaNow, among other services. With a portable component, short of any fancy haxoring, CinemaNow gets a little more cred, but there's no telling if this will be enough to compete with a market now populated by Wal-Mart, Amazon and of course Apple. The player itself supports WiFi via a SDIO card, and sports its own HDD of indeterminate size, along with that plentiful amount of screen real estate. The player is also designed to work with the PassAlong Networks music store services. That's all we know for now, but we'll be keeping an eye out for Zoran and its partners.

You're going to have to add Zune to it's list of competitors with a download movie service soon, I would imagine. Between iTunes, Zune Marketplace, and the others, does this even really stand a chance?

Of course, that's what you could say about every PMP/Download service that isn't iTunes.
