Consumer Electronics Association sets standards for video players
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has set a list of standards for portable video players. This will make interoperability a little more feasible.
"This standard marks a milestone in the development of open industry standards. With its publication, this common connector standard will more easily enable device interconnectivity in the homes and cars of consumers," said a Microsoft chairperson in response.
So, everyone out there, if you want to build your own PVP, be sure to get yourself a copy of CEA-2017, Common Interconnection for Portable Media Players.

The battery live is about 3 hours. Charging time is also 3 hours. Now if the BTV-350W would also play videos and music it would be an awesome device.

Sony China gives us two new PVPs
Before I say anything about these players, I've got to say how like Sony it is to have promotional shots with Spider-Man. The company's cash cow is seen on the PMX-M70, and another new model, the PMX-U50, is also from Sony.
The two units also feature the Xross Media Bar, an interface than in my opinion isn't that amazing, but Sony seems to think it's a gift from God.The M70 features capacities of 2, 4, and 8 GB, with a 4.3" TFT display, direct video recording, and an FM tuner/voice recorder. The U50 is in 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB sizes, with a 2.4" display and the same basic features as the M70.
