AFP - The planned launch of a portable edition of Sony's hugely popular PlayStation game console series is eagerly awaited by game fans and retailers here, but analysts are more cautious about a product claimed by Sony to be as revolutionary as its Walkman.

Video content goes portable with new MSN

Microsoft Corp. has launched MSN Video Downloads, which will provide daily television programming for download to Windows Mobile-based devicess. MSN Video Downloads is available in the United States today at a cost of $19.95 for a one-year premium membership to the MSN Video Downloads service which provides access to all available videos. In addition, people can access a limited amount of free content without a paid membership. Subscribers to the premium service will be able to select the content they want to receive from the Web site. Digital videos are downloaded daily to a Windows Media Player 10 library, ready to be synchronized with Portable Media Centers and other devices. The video content is compliant with PlaysForSure devices that play video, and is optimized for Portable Media Centers and compatible with Smartphones and Pocket PCs that support Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. New with the final launch of the service is the ability to select the specific content downloaded to the subscriber's Windows XP-based PC each day. Subscribers can also activate a new automatic deleting feature that specifies how long video from the MSN Video Downloads directory will remain on their PC, thus avoiding a large backlog of clips.

AMD chips in for portable video players

AMD chips in for portable video players 01/04/2005 11:03 AM
AMD has developed a low-power chip that it thinks will make portable video players more compelling by reducing the time needed to transfer content to the devices. The company is expected to announce the chip at CES (the International Consumer Electronics Show) this week. Portable video players with the new Alchemy Au1200 processor will play Mpeg files recorded by digital video recorders, eliminating the need for users to change those files to a different format, a spokeperson says. AMD has designed a reference platform for manufacturers that includes the chip and media player software, and the company expects devices to emerge in the second quarter of this year.

Yet Another Portable Video Player:
Talitor PV-330 07/06/2004 03:09 PM

It won't win any prizes for being ugly -- oh wait, yes it will; congratulations! -- but here's another portable video player, this time from the UK: the Talitor PV-330. It's got the usual stuff, 40GB hard drive and a 3.5-inch LCD with a fairly low quality screen (looks like 480 x 234, although it can't even decode at that resolution). In fact, after factoring in the £325 purchase price I can't think of much to recommend this thing at all, unless you've resigned yourself to stepping into the portable video future in the most wretched way possible.

mPack 800 Portable Video Player 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

Another day, another portable media player. This mPack P800 is of hearty, Taiwanese stock, with a heavy-lifting video compressor that will save video at resolutions even higher than its native 320 by 240 pixel screen. That's handy for playing back the videos on a better quality screen, after either copying them off the device or playing them via its video out. It supports a variety of formats (including OGG Vorbis and Xvid) and comes in 40GB or 80GB models. If the screen isn't a total travesty, it'll be a contender—if it makes it stateside.

A group of eight companies, including Warner Bros Studios and Walt Disney, has announced plans to make available a content-management technology, called Advanced Access Content System (AACS), that would allow consumers to copy prerecorded digital content, such as videos, and share it with networked and portable devices. The AACS technology is being developed by the AACS LA to manage content stored on future generations of prerecorded and recordable optical media, the group said in a statement. The technology will let users make authorized copies and share content, including high-definition video, with home-networked devices, including PCs, and portable devices, it said.

Two S-Media Portable Video Players:
JoyToGo and Black Diamond

Two S-Media Portable Video Players:
JoyToGo and Black Diamond 06/08/2004 07:31 AM

DAPReview has shots of a couple of small, hard drive-based video players, both with planned release dates around September. The first is the JoyToGo (pictured left, and which I could have sworn we'd seen before, but Google says otherwise), built around either a 20 or 30GB 1.8" hard drive, with a 480 x 234 2.5" LCD screen, as well as built-in speakers and SD slot. It will also allow direct recording of video in MPEG-4 at rates of 640x480 at 25fps -- not bad, consider that's larger than its own screen.

And even though it's only a mock-up at the moment, I can't help but be excited by the 'Black Diamond' player, built around a tiny 1" hard drive with an as-yet-unspecified capacity. It only has a 294 x 228 resolution (with the same 2.5" screen size as the JoyToGo), and no speakers or anything like that, but if they could bump the resolution of the Black Diamond up to 480 x 234, I would be happy -- honored, even -- to carry around the little player in my pocket.

Both players are from S-Media, the makers of the moderately successful CoCoPod hard disk player.
