The catch is that it comes with a mere 128MB of onboard memory, so you pretty much have to spring for an extra memory card (it has an expansion slot for SD cards) if you want to carry around anything more than a minimal amount of video."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/govideo.jpg" /><br /><br />Unfortunately, there is no information on GoVideo's site about this product, however details on the device are available at jandr.com. It appears to be yet another all-in-one PVP AFAICT, capable of playing MPEG-4 audio & video, MP3, DivX, 5.0, MPG, AVI, MP4, DAT, WMV, ASF. It does have the ability to record MPEG-4 which is cool, but with only 128MB of on-board memory, I think it is pretty much going to be a requirement to an SD card to augment the memory. This 3.1"H x 3.8"W x 0.7"D device also has NTSC/PAL, and USB 2 support. Battery life seems a bit low at 2 hours (video) or 5 hours (audio). No information on release date or price. Has anyone tried other products from GoVideo or this one?
