Sony Walkman Plays DVDs
Sony has taken a new approach with the introduction of the D-VE7000S. This new device is able to play MP3s off of CD-R/CD-RW discs - no big feat. However, it can also play MP3s off of DVD-R/RWs - we don’t have to point out that not very many portable DVD players can do this. While the price has come down on MP3-CD players, a single layer DVD can hold up to 4.3GB of data. This certainly sets the stage for a CD wallet full of 4.3GB DVDs. It should be interesting to see if a company is willing to create a market for MP3 DVDs.
