design concept
Here's a wild-ass looking portable DVD player (PDP) that reminds us a lot of that player we showed you last month that looks like a butterfly knife. This concept takes that design a few years into the future, looking like it's about the size and unpocketable shape of that crazy iPhone clone Intel was flaunting the other day. Like a Transformer, it twists around and gives you a turntable on which to spin the DVD while you unravel its sexy flexible OLED screen to feast your eyes.

Sony DVP-FX850 Portable DVD Player: It's Shiny, It Swivels, It Supports USB Media
I don't know about you, but I find DVD portable players like this Sony DVP-FX850, quite boring. Even with this model's 800 x 480 panoramic LCD screen, which can swivel almost as much as the Exorcist girl's head without the gross drooling. I don't care that it can decode Dolby Digital audio with its built-in 96kHz/24bit DAC or that the battery lasts for 6 hours either. And the 8.9 x 1.25 x 6.5 inches and 2.95 pounds package just leaves me completely cold. More »

Panasonic LX87 Portable DVD Player Has 12-Hour Battery Life, Longest Yet
Panasonic celebrates Sony Day by showing off two portable DVD players, the LX87-S (pictured here) and the LS80-K. Both have 8.5-inch screens and the LX87 has a 12-hour battery life, supposedly the industry's longest. As portable DVD players go, they've got all of the basics down: MP3 playback, JPEG viewing, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards, etc. The LX87 also sets itself apart from its lesser brother by including a 1Seg TV tuner. Though we'd still like to see Xvid playback one of these days. Both models will hit stores in Japan in April. More »

Hey, this is a quick reminder for the Axion portable DVD player that will be on sale tomorrow at 8am Pacific.

We are giving you free publicity because you had a great idea. Now deliver...again. More »

Amadana Portable DVD Player: Almost a Laptop
If you want your portable DVD player to have a swanky bamboo exterior, this Amadana has that and 10.2 inches of 800x480 LCD goodness along for the ride. Hey, that's almost as big as a laptop screen. It plays DVDs with Dolby Digital sound and can also read SD memory cards, so that means you can play MP3s, MPEG4 movies and display pictures on it, too. If bamboo doesn't suit your fancy, it's also available in assorted colors of (rich Corinthian?) leather. More »

Bluedot's BDP-1200, 12-inch Portable DVD Player
When does portable cease to mean "able to be easily carried or moved"? Bluedot takes us once step closer to finding out with its BDP-1200, a portable DVD player that features a 12-inch screen and weighs 3.5 lbs. Beyond the 800 x 400 pixel resolution screen, the BDP-1200 is your typical portable DVD player. That said, it does have an SD card slot (as well as MMC and Memory Stick slots), a USB port for connecting USB drives loaded with your favorite audio/video content. It plays back a number of different formats as well, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP, DivX, XviD, JPEG and MP3, making it quite attractive to those people who enjoy all those great scene relases. There's also composite, S-video and component video output, in case you ever wanted to output your media to a bigger, higher resolution monitor. Battery life isn't too bad, lasting about three hours playing back a DVD with the LCD on and five hours without. Expect to see the BDP-1200 (in Japan) for the equivalent of $510. More »

Mustek Portable DVD Players
Any guess as to who will make the first portable Blu-Ray DVD player? I'll bet you anything that it won't be Mustek. But if you are in the market for a regular old portable DVD player, this company has a decent offering. The flagship MP100 supports Divx, has a 10-inch swivel widescreen LCD, and plays DVDs, CD/R/RW, MPEG-4, MP3's, digital photos and MMC/SD memory cards. Not bad for only $300. The two other players are a little cheaper. The MP70C ($135) and MP72 ($129) both have 7-inch LCD screens and can playback DVDs, MPEG4 files, music CD/R/RW, and photos. More »

Plextor Dual-Layer USB DVD Recorder
Plextor's PX-608U is a lightweight portable DVD recorder drive that comes with double layer DVD+/- writing, multi-format DVD-RAM capability and high-speed USB 2.0 data transfer. And if you get a writing failure because of a slow or stopped buffer (it's got 2MB), the drive will actually pause for you and start burning again as soon as the buffer is cleared. Also look for Plextor's 16x DVD+R media to go along with the just-announced drive. More »

Toshiba's Full-On Portable DVD Player
I do love me a good portable DVD player. And the SP-P2800 looks like it's done right by Toshiba Japan. It lights up with a 9V type IPS LCD with 800 x 480 resolution with an up and down/ left and right viewing angle of 170 degrees. Add to that a 4-in-1 card slot (supposedly the first of its kind on a portable DVD player) which supports SD card, MMC, Memory stick and XD picture card as well as a 14 bit/108MHz Video DAC for high picture conversion (another supposed first). It plays DVD-R/RW (VR mode), CD / CDRW and supports MP3, DIVX and WMA (straight from the memory card). Oh, it also has a Television / CATV / FM tuner built in. A fully charged battery should last you 4.5 hours and it weighs in at 1.3 kg. Going for $600 in early December. More »
