(dba Diamond Electronics), a leading international marketing, manufacturing and distributing company, today announced the launch of five new consumer electronics products in the United States. Through an agreement with Yahoo! to license the Yahoo! name, Diamond Electronics will manufacture, distribute and market these Yahoo!-branded products in the United States, Mexico, and Canada."</i><br /><br />This happened almost two weeks ago, but I flaked out and didn't post on it. Whoops! :oops: At any rate, these are some of the most unique DVD players I've ever seen (they also have <a href="http://www.intreo.com/yce_cat_hometh.html">two home theatre systems</a>). They're being sold at BestBuy, Target and Circuit City in addition to online sales. Interestingly enough it seems that most of their DVD players are also Divx-certified, which may be important for some of you. Here are two of their players<!>:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/yce_prod_full_ydp700.gif" /><br /><br />"The YDP-700 and YDP-701 are the ultimate in DVD player style and performance. At a suggested retail price of $99, these two DVD players not only reveal cutting-edge designs for different room settings, but also offer such features as Dolby Digital technology and 16:9 (widescreen) and<br />4:3 (normal) viewing ratios. Both play DVD-, DVD-R-, DVD-RW-, CD-, CD-R-, CD-RW-, MP3-, JPEG- and Kodak Picture CD media. In addition to having 3.5mm composite video/audio out connections for easy set up, a headphone jack for private listening is included."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/yce_prod_full_ydp530.gif" /><br /><br /><i>"The truly inspired design and innovative features will enhance any home entertainment setting. The 4-in-1 card reader and USB port makes viewing all your digital photos convenient. The bite rate and volume meters blend function and fun. DivX® certification and wireless IR headphone emitter combine technology with versatility. All of this is just the beginning…"</i><br /><br />It's nice to see something other than the slim, square boxes we're used to. These aren't practical for stacking of course, but they sure do look cool. :-)
