A Big Screen in the Palm of Your Hand

This new DVX-POD really puts the power of clear, easy to see video right into the palm of your hands - literally. Today, Tom’s Hardware gives us a close up look at this potential digital media player ‘killer’.

While the player is not without its faults, the devices can play just about every media format you can think of including DivX and MP3. The biggest complaint appeared to be the fact that the video did have occasional playback problems. Other than that, this is a pretty cool media player option.

Portable media players are usually plagued by poor resolution and the ability to play only a few video codecs, but the DVX-POD 7010 by Ama Technologies promises to change all of that. With its 6.5″ screen and 720×480 resolution, you can finally enjoy decent quality video in the palms of your hands. And the DVD-POD can play nearly every video codec — even Divx and Quicktime

The DVX-POD looks like a mutant iPOD, with the familiar off-white finish and white headphones. Its 20GB drive will store hours of audio, video, or pictures. You can output video from the unit or record into it using the composite video connections (red, white, and yellow). Voice recording can be done simply by speaking into the integrated microphone.
