    Portable DVD with mp3 only?

    New Sony Portable DVD/CDRW

    Quote: Originally posted by Joe Bloggs Could this be the first portable DVD-A or SACD player? No, players like the portable Panasonic DVD-PA65 with DVD-A capability (and no LCD screen) have been around for years and are mostly discontinued now. You should be able to pick one up at...

    Dad's birthday: Best rollerpen for 200$??

    dohminator, pen companies will happily charge you hundreds and even thousands of dollars for plastic pens. An italic nib has a flat tip that produces a nice line width variation of the stoke on the paper. When you draw an `o', it has a thick stroke SW and NE, and a thin stroke NW and SE...

    Lookin' for second pair of phones

    If you get closed phones you will most likely get worse sound than you have now with the SR125s. Get an amp, and you will get better sound. Think about it...

    pens

    As as alternative to the Roting 600, check out the remaining Sheaffer close-outs at arcamax.com. Most of them are heavy full metal pens (like the Rotring 600), the white dot ones come with lifetime warranty (unlike the Rotring 600), they are shipped free, and after the first order they usually...

    Fujitsu lifebook P-204x for portable audio?

    I wonder if anyone here has comments or maybe even personal experience with the fujitsu lifebook P-2040 (or P-2046) subnotebooks (use your favorite search engine to find out the details). This small (10.6"x7") notebook appears to be one of the very few notebooks with a true line-out (!) and a...

    New HD based MP3 players

    vaporware <jargon> /vay'pr-weir/ Products announced far in advance of any release (which may or may not actually take place). See also {brochureware}. Accurately describes the Treoplayer. Did you see the line-out on the picture in the first URL? Good to have to plug in your TA or Porta Corda.

    New HD based MP3 players

    Here are two URLs I stumbled over, http://www.emiglobal.com/mp3/chd1000.html and http://www.edig.com/products/reference-jukebox.html. Could be vaporware like the Treo, but OTOH it wouldn't hurt if the Ipod got some competition (and with larger HDs). It looks like CircuitCity is offering...

    What PCDP has the best analog line-out?

    You could pick up one of those Sony D-25S being auctioned at Ebay, 5 years or so old model, new old stock, not much of an antiskip if any, no digital-out, but reportedly a very good line-out. At $45 + S/H perhaps worth a shot?
