Iogear PMP Does 720P Video, Too!
Iogear is ready to put out a 120 GB PMP. The nameless PMP has no screen or external display. It’s designed to connect to a television and crank out the tunes. It will also push 720p video to said tele. The compact unit holds up to 34,000 digital photos, 30,000 MP3s, 3,000 uncompressed songs, nine hours of digital video or 50 hours of DVD-quality video. The unit provides both RCA and component video connectors.
The Portable Media Player is available online and comes with a 1-year warranty. Retail price for the unit is USD$349. According to the company, it’s compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista - as long as said computers have a USB port - and works with both HD and standard-definition television with component or composite connectors and RCA left-and right-audio jacks. This is Iomega’s first foray into multimedia playa-hood, although the company’s media storage product have been around for ages. Also last week, Iomega announced that it was being acquired by EMC sometime in the second quarter of 2008.
