The PVR-H140 has a bunch of cool features for the money. Besides a 3.6 inch color screen, 40GB hard-drive, USB 2.0, 6 hour battery life, SD-Card slot, direct Video encoding (MP4) it has PDA like software features. The PVR measures 3.15x1.18x4.33inch. We keep you updated when this portable video player hits the US market."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/mustek_pvr_h140.jpg" /><br /><br />If I were in the market for a PVP, I definitely think that this would be among the top on my list. The feature-set, the size and the weight all make it very attractive.

nice price, looks good, good size, and I like that battery life. 2 questions though, is the battery removable (add/replace), and whats the effective resolution. These days anything less then vga is unacceptable. Also in the presenters extreamly broken english (why did they even bother? A big poster board would have been clearer) he said something like "supports media formats jpeg, mp3, wma, asf, thats mp4.." I hope he dosnt expect us to compress in the old (does ms even support it any more?) asf format. For one its not a valid mp4 stream that could be used in mp4 compatable products.
