Nice Video Gadget.

swestrupA small player is trying to introduce the video equivalent of an ipod. This little device can store 320 hours equivalent of compressed mpeg-4 videos. It does this by re-sampling and re-encoding DVD signals from a dvd player, so it takes as long to upload a movie as it would to watch it. On the other hand, it currently IGNORES all DRM signals and will happily let you upload a DVD even if that DVD has the 'no copies' bit set.
So, I wanna see a few reviews by tech-savvy people first so I can know things like "can you upgrade the storage?", "Is the battery easily replaceable?", and "What is the UI like?" but in the meantime, I think it sounds like a nifty little product.
Well, I found a review here, and it makes me think even more that I would love to own this gizmo. The big problem is a base price around US$1000, and I would definitely want some of the add-ons. Oh well, just need to get rich first.
