compact, handheld media recorders, and one portable media
player. The video recorder has a 7-inch liquid crystal display
and a 40GB hard drive, The two media players have 2.2 and 4-inch
displays and hard drives of 20 or 30GB. Each of the three
PocketDish models come equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery that gives you four hours of video and 12 hours of
audio.
