Saw this commercial for a kids video thing.

I checked it out online and it can play MPEG 1 and WMV video formats, and even has an SD port.

$99.00 for a portable media center doesn't sound bad to me, even if the system was designed for kids.

Also, I believe it has 128 MB internal memory, along with a vacant SD port. AFAIK. And it can record digital video straight from TV, which is cool. (Record Law and Order, watch in class)

What do you guys think? This is sounding increasing good considering I have a 512 MB SD Card already.

It looks like a waste of money...why would you need to take video files with you anywhere?

Get a 1GB stick and you can bring movies with you on the road. And the TV recording thing is pretty neat.

Honestly, I'd be more interested in it if it was designed for kids. I like my portable systems to be able to take a beating.

for the same reasons people buy iPods, pocketPCs, PalmPCs, mp3 players, and other small media devices - because you can. and because it's cool to share parts of your life with others, whether it be music, movies, pictures, and other info.

these types of devices are going to be a part of our lives from now on- embrace technology!

Wow, times like these I wish had a credit card.

Maybe that should be a prize for one of BYOND's next contests?
