Toshiba Mobile Viewer

Toshiba has just released a consumer multimedia handheld device at the CeBIT 2004 show.

The Toshiba Mobile Viewer is a multimedia player featuring a 3.5-inch LCD display, and a 1.8-inch 20-GB hard disk drive for up to 80 hours of video storage. The Mobile Viewer also converts into a still picture and video recorder, with an optional one megapixel cam module (higher resolution modules to be made available later).

Toshiba has also designed the Mobile Viewer to be able to dock into an audio-video cradle connected to stereo sound speakers, transforming it into a full-featured entertainment unit.

Engadget seems to suggest that this device is actually spec'ed a bit differently: "A digital photo viewer with an SD memory card slot and a 3.45-inch Organic Light Emitting Diode display." They have your description for a different device. See http://www.engadget.com/entry/0646644886687411/

Fixed - I uploaded the wrong photo. Thanks for catching this.

Craig is that "released" or "announced"? IOW, is this still just a demo model that really doesn't exist yet? Still, it looks interesting. I have the feeling Apple is also working hard on a vPod... should be an interesting Christmas season.

I own an Archos AV380, that looks like Toshiba Mobile but IT EXIST NOW, and it's a beautiful device, with a lot of functions and facilities, and a 80 GB HD for storing all you think...
Sorry for my poor language, I'm italian...
