Portable CD-RW/DVD Player
BugNuker writes "If your CD/MP3 player wasn't enough, you have to check this out. Sony has released this all in one media device that can play mp3's, wma's, cd's, and DVD's... yes, DVD's. It can be hooked up to your computer, and be used as a CD-RW and then hooked up to your TV, and play your favorite DVD's. But can it play my mp3's recorded on my DVD? Ultimate media device I would say, same size as a personal cd player. Comes with a Memory Stick expansion slot, a rechargeable battery and a USB 2.0/1.1 interface." There's a picture. It's cute. And expensive.
When away from the computer, the drive then works as a stand-alone CD player that can play standard audio CDs, and MP3 or WAV files from a CD, DVD or Memory Stick.
The submitter asks a question thats answered in the story. Here's looking forward to a re-post tommorow that asks the same question.
Call me a fascist, but whoever coined the term "notebook" to mean a portable PC should be shot!
It's a laptop, damnit! Notebooks are pads of paper which you write stuff in!
Well, what other platforms are there?
Oh yeah - Unix. Like a majority of the buying public can or would be interested in compiling their own kernels. Gimme a break.
Yeah, like you would ever exercise, our over-weight fatass American.
Wtf is ogg when its at home? Oh let me guess , some new "super" format thats supported by 3 start ups but has that geek kudos because its not mainstream.
Just put all your stuff on cassette tape then you can play any fucking tune you want. Christ you people bore me to death with your whining about "does it play X or Y format".
