What A Portable Media Center Might Look Like

An anonymous reader writes "From the Redmond's answer to iPOD dept... While wandering the exhibitor aisles at Embedded DevCon, we were drawn to this slick looking reference design board in the Freescale (formerly Motorola Semiconductor) booth. The Portable Media Player Reference Design, a.k.a. "Jazz", is based on a Freescale i.MX21 embedded processor, runs Windows CE, and is compliant with Microsoft's Portable Media Center (PMC) standard. PMCs, Microsoft's answer to the iPOD, will initially support digital music and videos, digitally recorded television shows, and digital photos."

    isn't the iPod basically the size of the HDD inside it?

    Um think about what you just said. If the iPod were the size of the hard drive in it, the hard drive would have to be on the outside. The iPod is nearly as small as the hard drive, not the same size.
