Tom's Hardware Guide Reviews the DVD-XPOD
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 11:15 AM
"The DVX-POD has the biggest and highest resolution screen of any portable media player. The 720x480 screen can actually play a DVD movie with no reduction of native resolution. It is a shame that this large screen largely goes to waste, however, because most videos from the Internet simply won't play back on the unit. Audio and video recording work well, and the picture viewer functions as advertised. With just the DVX-POD and composite cable, you have an extremely portable recording device. 20 GB is a bit small when you compare the DVX-POD to other comparable media players, but this can be easily fixed in the future."
Probably the most interesting thing about the DVX-XPOD is that the screen is so large that it is just right to give the illusion that it is filling your field of view. So even though it is a small device, it gives the effect of immersion. 8)
