Enhancing the most on-the-go lifestyles, the handheld PocketDISH downloads and plays thousands of MP3s, stores and displays photos and is one of the industry's first video players. PocketDISH gives TV viewers the ability to take their favorite sitcoms, reality shows or even last night's game with them to watch anywhere. The sleek, silver PocketDISH is available in three models: two portable media recorders and a portable media player. With the choice of a crystal-clear 2.2-inch, 4-inch or 7-inch LCD screen, PocketDISH is one of the most advanced portable media devices available and provides consumers the ultimate convenience in how they watch television."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/dish_network_pocketdish.jpg" /><br /><br />Nifty device from a company that is not really in the field. Every PocketDish comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to four hours of video and 12 hours of music playback, headphones, USB cables, adapter cable and A/V cables.

That would be because it is.
Dish invested in and has a partnership with Archos for a variety of portable media devices. Plans call for future products that will let Dish cutomers move content from a Dish STB to portable devices.
