this won't sell
This is one of those devices that simply will not sell and wind up on compgeeks.com or tigerdirect for $99 pretty soon.
The reason being...its a novelty item. Yes its a nifty idea. But it lacks some of the main features that gadget freaks or geeky minded tech savy people would like to have. 1) It needs composite/RCA/SVideo output connection. 2) It needs to play more than just mpg/asf/wmv. It needs to play Divx files.

While more formats would always be better, I don't think it "needs" to play DivX. With the exception of hardcore movie-swapping geeks who don't want to buy their DVDs, DivX isn't used for much that I've seen. WMV would do just fine IMO...

I don't know, guys. This things has keys... they're kind of oval-ish shaped... you can press them with your thumbs... I imagine RIM will be slapping them with a writ any time now. :P
