Savit Micro's Cinedisk CD26HD media player: 1080i everywhere you go

Chicks and dudes -- the Korean electronics maker Savit Micro wants to make you the talk of the town. How will they do such a thing, you ask? Well, for starters, they're serving up the Cinedisk CD26HD pocket-sized, HD media player that can handle MPEG2, WMV9HD, or DiVX video formats, plays MP3, WMA, and OGG audio, and does AC3 and DTS audio processing. Your precious, friend-making files are stored on a 2.5-inch, 120GB hard drive, and you can hook the miniature-media-center up to your favorite HDTV via its component outs for 1080i playback. The player also comes with a remote control, so you can really show off your movies like a champ, though it won't mix your cocktails or make charming small talk. Available now if you can get to a Korean dealer for 219,900 KRW (around $235).

I'm gonna have to go with "yes" on this one...

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 6:37PM]

In theory, maybe they were just abbreviating my name. But then again, I am more of a 1080p gal myself...

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 4:39PM]

I want that.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 4:46PM]

Cool but no HDMI? Who wants to carry component video cables around? I suppose you'd be more likely to find a component input on any given device that you travel to though so I'll let it slide... this time. ;-)

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:08PM]

True, but most Televisions that support 1080i would have an HDMI input.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:46PM]

I think you are confusing 1080i with 1080p. 1080i was standard way before HDMI.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:19PM]

well theres no intergrated display so its not like you can watch on the go but still its cool i want one

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:28PM]

WOW! I expected a higher price... will this ever come state side...

[neeko18 Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:46PM]

So its a portable media device. Hmm wonder how i could use this?Needs a bigger hard drive then itll be more attractive.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 7:57PM]

It can actually take any 2.5" IDE drive. 120GB is just the configuration shown.

[Master Bruce Posted Sep 12th 2007 6:12PM]

This is super awesome. I want one!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 7:51PM]

If it had a screen, I would jump on this.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 13th 2007 12:17AM]

Ouch, I just dropped 150,000 KRW in Seoul on a PMP that doesn't hold a candle to this one.
