First Portable Media Centers Hit Store Shelves

Posted by timothy on from the gotta-keep-the-zendo-open dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After months of speculation and hype, the first Portable Media Center based on Microsoft's 'Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers' has finally hit store shelves. The Zen Portable Media Center, from Creative Labs, is now available at Best Buy and Fry's Electronics, priced under $500. That money basically buys a 3.8-inch color LCD screen, ultra-fast USB 2.0 port to transfer video, music, and digital photos from your PC, and an internal 20 GB hard drive."

    I has a 'welcome to Windows Media" clip, a sample clip of Beck's latest, and all the I/O ports are epoxied shut.

    Enjoy your media!
