Carry Your Entire Media Library Wherever You Go
With all of the new ways to transport several GB’s on information from one computer to the next, it has made life so much easier to bring your important data with you for use virtually anywhere. However, with increased technological advances, the data files for most audio and video formats have grown in size as well as quality, thus preventing you from carrying as many files as you would like to. I mean wouldn’t it be great to have the ability to bring every movie you own to your next hotel visit, just in case you were in the mood to watch one of them? And to make it even better, how about if you didn’t even have to watch them on a computer and were able to enjoy even the high definition quality videos from any HDTV? I hate the fact that I typically end up watching downloaded video on a computer screen while I have a giant, mammoth-sized LCD TV in my family room. I know there are hook-ups you can purchase to transfer it from one to the other, but that takes time and energy that I just don’t have at the end of a long day. With this little device, the Mvix Pocket Sized HD Media Center, I can easily watch my downloaded HD video content on any HDTV I wish without the hassle or restrictions to a 15″ monitor.
Now, let me put the disclaimer out there first. This is just a companion to a 2.5″ Internal IDE Hard Drive; you actually have to go out and buy the hard drive separately, which kind of stinks. The features, however, more than make up for it. It works like any other ordinary USB storage device, making it simple to transfer data by the drag-and-drop method we have all grown accustomed to. And once you get all of your video transferred, you can crank it out to any HDTV and enjoy up to 1080i playback. The media center has the ability to connect up to any digital TV, and even comes with a small remote to control your saved programming. And you can also store all of your audio files and photos, too, for the ultimate media collection that fits in your pocket. The device is only as big as a PDA and yet carries hundreds of gigabytes, making this the smallest yet most packed media center around. So portable, you can now easily share all of your videos, tunes and photos with family and friends and not even have to huddle around the computer desk to do it.
The media center supports virtually every video and audio format out there, and even has a jukebox to manage your playlists. It is even compatible with all forms of screen sizes, so you can watch in original 16:9 widescreen, pan and scan, or the normal 4:3 full screen. Could this be the end of the iPod? Doubtful, but an interesting thought to ponder. Apple has come out with similar ways to enjoy your iTunes content on other devices. I guess this just ups the competition a bit. Hopefully the fact that you have to buy the hard drive separately won’t turn too many people off, because this looks like a great, easy way to enjoy your digital media. I know I’d have fun with it.
