Portable Video Players

The array of selections for the types of portable media players one can acquire seems endless. So let’s differentiate a PVP from a portable DVD player first. Put simply, the major variance between them is that PVPs are devices which are capable of playing movies by booting stored video files from a built-in memory (or through downloading) while portable DVD players rely on DVD’s to generate a movie for viewing. PVP’s are what movie viewing is as MP3’s are to music listening. PVP comes in all kinds of sizes, colours and designs. The most important features to look for when buying a PVP are the screen size, file compatibility and storage capacity. Bigger does not necessarily mean better so, watch out for details before finally deciding what model to choose. Thenceforth, to aid you in that quest I have provided the best known models of PVPs today and their features below.***

a. Archos 605 WiFi (30GB)

The Archos 605 WiFi has top-notch video resolution, integrated support for wireless movie downloads, touch screen and Mac compatible. The TFT LCD screen is glare resistant,  offers great viewing angles and displays at a resolution of 800×480 making it the highest resolution PVPs on the market. With the price starting at $265 up to $338.63, this product is indeed one of the best in its kind that money can buy.***

b. Apple iPod Touch (32GB)

The Apple iPod Touch comes with Wi-Fi Internet, e-mail and music download capabilities. It has cutting-edge interface and a large screen which is scratch resistant, assuring clear movie watching. The Touch movie display resolution reach up to 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second which is just right for movie viewing. Apple updated it on January, 2008 by adding additional features like location-smart maps, stocks, weather, notes, Web clips, a customizable main menu, and the ability to view rented iTunes movies. What’s more, the Touch is free of iPhone’s contract commitment. ***

c. Cowon A3 (60GB)

The Cowon A3 portable video player is great for its file support and integrated video-recording capabilities. Although it is not the slimmest or lightest PVP, but big points are attributed to the 800×480 LCD screen where viewing advantage really counts. Add to it a built-in video output, video and audio recording capabilities, and superb audio quality. This PVP should be on the top of your list if you want a practical, but still offers a dazzling video and audio wireless device.***

d. SanDisk Sansa View (16GB)

The main features of this incredible buy includes photo and video support, “a microSD card slot, an FM radio, and a voice recorder. The screen is relatively large, and there’s a separate podcast menu for easy sorting of such content. It works with Mac and Windows and supports WMA subscription services and Audible.” The price ranges from $115.00 – $153.63 making it more affordable compared to other wonderful PVPs out in the market today without sacrificing quality. Anyway, the memory capacity can be expanded should you need additional memory storage.***
