Posted by simoniker on from the kiddie-player-reversioning-shenanigans dept.

Zoc_All_Alone writes "In mid-July, Hasbro released the VideoNOW, a portable media player for kids. The disks are specially encoded ~3 inch audio CDs. We have started a project to reverse engineer the format, and have made considerable progress. More information about the player can be found at the Hasbro website."

    I know Color LCD's are more expensive.. But really.. Black and white in this day and age. The LCD is 80x80 already.. so the res is like insanly horrable. If it was color it might be mildly intresting, but as it stands it sucks.
