iPods for the Eyes

Forbes: "Apple's Steve Jobs has kissed off portable video players as being 'twice as heavy as an iPod and twice the size of an iPod … and twice as expensive as an iPod.' What he neglects to mention is that they can do more than twice as much as an iPod."

He also forgets to mention that a Portable Media Center is the same price as a high-end iPod was just a few months ago. But hey, whatever.

"Batteries last more than four and a half hours with video, twelve if you turn off the screen while you listen to tunes ... The player's strongest suits are an extremely simple user interface and easy synchronization with content on Media Center PCs--the ones that can record and play TV. It's the first portable device to offer Microsoft's new digital rights management scheme."
