Earlier, I reported on one of my favorite devices at CES, the Toshiba Gigabeat S Series. Maybe its not the iPod Video Killer as I called it, but its damn nice and the $299 (same as the iPod), it should do well.
"The one gadget that grabbed everyone at Engadget’s attention right at the beginning of the show was Toshiba’s new Gigabeat S Series Portable Media Center. Portable video players are a dime-a-dozen these days, but the new Gigabeat looks like it’ll have the skills to take on the iPod: a sleek, thin, light brushed aluminum casing, a crisp, bright QVGA display, and — and here’s the really important part — it offers full integration with Vongo, that new online video download subscription service from Starz that’ll let you download as many movies as you want from their catalog and watch them on your portable device." - Engadget
I apologize to the iPod fans that spoke out in the comments. I will refrain from calling everything the iPod Killer. (fingers crossed behind back)
If you get a chance, check this baby out. It comes in 3 colors too!































You’ve really got me itching to get my hands on one of these things with your posts on it the past few days. Vongo looks like a pretty cool service. I hadn’t really looked at it much before now.
