We know, we're slightly bummed too that yesterday's brief "iPod" announcement wound up not being a beautiful hard drive-based widescreen video iPod, but nevertheless, a prototype shown at CES gives iPod video owners a glimpse at what big screen playback would actually look like. This Belkin creation was spotted by TechDigest, and aside from sleek, black enclosure, widescreen display, and gaping hole just begging for an iPod video to come on home, we don't much about it. Mimicking the design of so many portable DVD players already out, this PVP takes its cues not from an optical disc, but from a movie-playing Apple. The spies thought they overheard that the unit featured a rechargeable battery, which would make sense considering its portable nature, but couldn't confirm it. Of course, until Belkin actually decides to produce these things, it's likely a moot point anyway, but it sure looks sellable.
They already have several things like this on sale already. Even Best Buy carries one.
even the apple store has one like this: http://www.si5.com/products.php?pID=4025
too bad its a piece of crap :(
So, you talk about the Apple Store having one, then link to a site called Sonic Impact? I'm somewhat confused...
Yeah, like hehehehehehhhe said, they already have these, they've had them for a while now...
Been there! sold that!
They sell these at Linens 'n Things.
old news, considering that USA Today did an article comparing 3 of these devices last month.
if you're gonna carry this around, I would just opt for a super-slim portable dvd player.
Just get an Archos..

They sell the Sonic Impact players at the Apple Store. And yep, it is kind of crappy.
The Belkin one looks like it's pretty much a direct ripoff.
