Review: Microsoft readies its next Windows Media Player as hardware makers start to ship portable video players. We look at the Creative Zen Portable Media Center as a prime early example. In wooing content producers, has Microsoft imposed too many shackles on users?

Infosync has details of an as-yet-unreleased Portable Media Center device from LG, that looks a lot like the DVX-POD 7010, except that it's an actual Windows-branded unit. The first generation of PMC devices were crippled, in my experience, by their need to transcode every type of file into Windows Media versions before copying it to the unit. That made for needlessly long transfer times and really killed the devices usefulness for anyone not totally on board with Windows' codecs. J0rgen lists all sorts of file formats on the LG PM70, though, so if it can really play OGG Vorbis and Xvid natively, they might have a winner (this is presuming the market for portable video players won't be steamrolled by the PSP).

Portable Media Center - An Overview

Portable Media Center - An Overview 09/23/2004 01:33 PM
Channel 9 have posted a great video of the new Portable Media Center's. The video is an overview of the devices from Brett Bentsen (Product Unit Manager of PMCs).

Portable Media Centers allow you to have all of your favorite video, music, and pictures wherever you are. At WinHEC earlier this year, I personally demo'd the Creative Zen Portable Media Center and it was rather impressive. The ability to store all your entertainment on a device that has a good battery life (8 hours) and one that can output films/TV recordings onto a TV is the unique selling point of the PMCs. PMCs are likely to be a huge hit with kids and teens wanting to watch their favourite TV shows whilst travelling.

If you're still not sure what the PMC is or are interested in the devices then check out this great overview below!

Microsoft's Portable Media Center

Microsoft's Portable Media Center 10/29/2003 03:28 AM
Microsoft plans to launch software for a new portable media device next year. The device will allow users to listen to music and watch movies on the road. Microsoft hopes the software, called "Portable Media Center," will be an answer to Apple's iPod music device, which is currently the best selling digital music device on the market. The Portable Media Center will be manufactured by Creative, Sanyo and Samsung, and will be on store shelves for the second half of 2004.

Media2Go, Microsoft's new operating system for personal video players, isn't called Media2Go anymore. From now on the software will be known as Portable Media Center. Now we know it's tough to let go of the old name that we had all gotten so attached to, but if it's any consolation, the first Portable Media Centers should start appearing from ViewSonic, Creative, iRiver, Samsung, and Sanyo sometime in the second half of next year.

Creative Portable Media Center Skewered

Creative Portable Media Center Skewered 07/17/2004 12:54 PM

If you'd like to read a review of the Creative Portable Media Center with "so much added (and useless) commentary that Gizmodo would be ashamed to publish it," ExtremeTech has a very unpositive, baseball-centric review. While I don't think that portable media centers are going to crash and burn, necessarily (although the ones hobbled by DRM might), I do think it's amusing for a company to promote products that are most easily (and most commonly) used by those that use Bit Torrent and other copyright-infringement tools, while with the other hand selling DRM systems to the television, movie, and music industries.

Microsoft's Portable Media Center is set to release today. Digital Media Thoughts reports that two units, the Samsung Yepp (pictured here) and the Creative Labs Zen are already listed at Amazon.

These are neat little doo-dads, but it seems like a device for a pretty small niche. You'd need to have a long commute to get any mileage out of one of these things. If you're an air traveler, you probably already own a laptop that can do most of this stuff for you. Call me a curmudgeon, but unless the price falls significantly, I don't really see these taking off.

They aren't shipping yet, but it looks like Amazon has set up their Personal Media Center page to promote both the Samsung Yepp YH-999 [pictured] and the Creative Labs Zen Portable Media Center. While there's not a whole lot of information about the devices that you haven't already heard, but if you're itching to pick either one up you can pre-order can get it shipped as soon as they hit our shores. If you purchase the Samsung instead of the Creative, you can save a whole eleven cents!

The service also provides exclusive, subscriber-only content to its subscribers, as well as the ability to search for content that matches a specific keyword or URL, and return that content in a feed. NewsGator Online Services pricing starts at $5.95/month per user.
