There’s not much a company can do these days to make me give a portable video player a second glance, but MEXX’s PMP-1200 gets a free pass mostly because it’s 1) not obnoxious, and 2) it’s been a while since we’ve mentioned any new models at all. The PMP segment is definitely getting as generic as, say, the DVD player market, but in some ways that’s good. When there are 2098792386234 different portable players out there fighting for business, that means they start to compete on features as well as price, which is why we have DVD players that can play XviD and 20GB hard disk-based PMPs that have touch-screens.
Unfortunately, this particular model has been delayed, so you’ll have to sate yourself with one of the dozens of other nearly-identical players.
