ZVUE Player
The new is a compact iPod-like device for playing music, watching movies, and viewing photos. Unlike the iPod, there is no internal storage offered. Rather, it uses memory cards for storing content. The device is priced at $150 with a 32MB card. Discounts are offered on the purchase of larger cards, however. The 2.5" display offers a resolution of 176 x 120 pixels. Many video formats are supported, including AVI, MPEG, HHe, mini-DV, Quicktime, and more. The device plays MP3 and Ogg music files. MP3 files created by applications such as MusicMatch Jukebox and Apple iTunes (Windows or Macintosh) are supported. Windows Media is not supported for either audio or video. The ZVUE is compact, measuring 4.33 x 2.91 x 1.1 inches. It features a USB interface for writing to SD and MMC cards formatted as FAT or FAT-32.
