Philips DVD iPod Player
Philips has begun offering the DCP850. The Dutch firm says its latest entry into portable DVD players adapts to the increasing shift towards hard drive and flash players by including more than just DVD storage. A slot next to the disc drive docks with any fifth-generation iPod to play its video on the much larger 8.5-inch LCD and stereo speakers, resting perfectly flush with the case to let the iPod stay inside the player for the entirety a trip. An SD reader on the side will load DivX and MPEG-4 movies. The optical reader is also intelligent enough to support MP3 CDs, VCDs, and SVCDs.
The handheld video player is just now reaching the market ahd should be available in the US for $250. [via Technabob]
