ZVUE: First Look

Carl Page, Chief Technology Officer Hand Held Entertainment, shows off a working prototype of the $99 ZVUE, a personal video player, that will be available nationwide in about 8 weeks. Listen to my exclusive audio interview (wmv, 5 minutes, 230K) using the Madplayer, a hand held music studio, as a digital voice recorder. (NOTE: There is a slight buzz to the audio file from increasing the volume in post production and compressing the file at 6.5Kbps)

Hands On Impression
ZVUE is Totally DroolCool.
The portable player will be a runaway hit this fall selling season.

I was the first member of the press to see and play with an actual working model.
The screen is a good size for watching videos and the sound is pure and clean.


The ZVUE! prototype rests on a pair of heardphones.
NOTE: A pair of earbuds will be included with the palm sized video player.

Where will the ZVUE! be released?

According to the gizmodo article, users will have to buy media from HHE; according to the audio interview, there will eventually be some kind of mechanism to play personal media on the ZVUE!. In that case, if I was to buy a dvd of Moulin Rouge, for example, there would be no mechanism to make it so that I could watch the movie on the ZVUE! and I would have to buy another copy from HHE?
