The PMP 4000 and PMP 7000 sport 4" and 7" screens respectively and each have a 20GB hard drive for storing videos, audio and digital photos.
Consumer electronics company CyberHome Entertainment last week announced two new portable media players designed to play videos and music. The PMP 4000 is priced at $399 and expected to be available in January. No release or pricing information was given about the other unit.
The PMP 4000 and PMP 7000 are 4" and 7" portable media players which each have a 20GB hard drive. They are designed to play and display audio, video and photo files of the MP3, WMA, MPEG 4, DivX, XviD, WMV, JPEG and BMP types. Features on these two players include HD video output up to 1080i resolution, 16:9 wide screen display mode, built-in stereo speakers, in line recording and multi-format memory card support.
"Usually when someone talks about Personal Media Players, one tends to think small, low-resolution screens and horrible output quality. We pretty much put an end to that myth with the PMP 4000 & 7000." commented Irwin Yuen, Product Director for CyberHome. "We've succeeded in putting together what could arguably be the best Personal Media Players— feature for feature — in the market today. These products offer exceptional video quality and an external component output that will drive a high definition monitor at 1080i with no problem",
