Apex has added a nice looking 8.4-inch widescreen DVD player to their lineup, called the PD-840. It plays DVDs, music, all that good stuff, with a projected battery life of 2.5 hours — not long enough for two movies, but probably just long enough for one. Although portable DVD players are the sort of product that has very limited appeal to me — if I’m not watching them at home, they I’ll probably be watching on a laptop — I know some people, especially people with kids, get a lot of mileage out of them. My own family has chewed through at least two in the last couple of years keeping my young brother entertained.
Should be available late summer for around for (a too pricey) $325.
