 A new Portable Media Player from Directed Electronics will be available in early September. The lightweight, pocket-sized video and audio player stores digital content in a wide variety of formats on a 20 Gigabyte hard drive, and plays it back on a large 3.5 inch digital LCD screen. The device allows users to capture and transfer video and audio content from TV, camcorders, personal computers, SD/MMC memory cards and from other similar devices to the PMP for playback at any time for their own personal use.
The PMP3520 also contains an FM radio, a clock with alarm, a voice recorder and comes with built-in DivX and MPEG4 video encoders as well as an MP3 audio encoder. The removable and rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack will play 3.5 hours of stored video or 8 hours of MP3 audio between charges. The unit will cost $449 and come with headphones, USB 2.0 OTG and RCA cables, AC adapter, credit card-sized remote control, and carrying case.
“The portable media players market is an exciting new category in consumer electronics, and a logical extension of the popularity of portable MP3 players,” said Jim Minarik of Directed Electronics.
