ZVUE's $99 Video and MP3 Player

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the still-no-hard-drive dept.

blackmonday writes "Hand Held Entertainment's ZVUE is an MP3 player, video and photo viewer with a color screen. At the price of $99, I think it might be worth the investment for the hacking potential alone. Uses Secure Digital/MMC cards rather than Compact Flash, but looks very cool. The funniest part - you can buy cartridges (apparently in some propietary format) of low budget wrestling movies and wannabe rapper videos."

    It'd be sweet to wire one of these into the front of a casing & set it up as a secondary monitor for performance data.

    The Cybiko Forums has had posts about the ZVUE since October 2003. This is where the Stormplayer (latest version) Cybiko Video Player and other major Cybiko developments were revealed and discussed.


    Cybiko is a low-cost, hackable handheld computer released at the end of 2000. Forum leaders may soon expand the boards to officially cover the ZVUE - it's a logical step from the Cybiko computer.


    Feel free to discuss the ZVUE in the Development boards.
