Belkin showcases prototype PVP that engulfs your iPod video

We know, we're slightly bummed too that yesterday's brief "iPod" announcement wound up not being a beautiful hard drive-based widescreen video iPod, but nevertheless, a prototype shown at CES gives iPod video owners a glimpse at what big screen playback would actually look like. This Belkin creation was spotted by TechDigest, and aside from sleek, black enclosure, widescreen display, and gaping hole just begging for an iPod video to come on home, we don't much about it. Mimicking the design of so many portable DVD players already out, this PVP takes its cues not from an optical disc, but from a movie-playing Apple. The spies thought they overheard that the unit featured a rechargeable battery, which would make sense considering its portable nature, but couldn't confirm it. Of course, until Belkin actually decides to produce these things, it's likely a moot point anyway, but it sure looks sellable.

So, you talk about the Apple Store having one, then link to a site called Sonic Impact? I'm somewhat confused...

old news, considering that USA Today did an article comparing 3 of these devices last month.

if you're gonna carry this around, I would just opt for a super-slim portable dvd player.

@ Kevlar
They sell the Sonic Impact players at the Apple Store. And yep, it is kind of crappy.
The Belkin one looks like it's pretty much a direct ripoff.
