MobiNote Technology formally announced its 7-inch portable multimedia player, the DVX-POD 7010, at Computex 2004. The product will ship later this month.

The DVX-POD 7010 supports video playback of MPEG-4, Microsoft WMV, Apple QuickTime 6 and DivX 3.11, 4.x and 5.x files. It can also be used as an MP3 player (MP3, WMA) and personal digital photo album (JPEG, BMP and GIF).

The device weighs only 600 grams and features a wide-screen (16:9) 7-inch color LCD screen with 720x480 pixel resolution. The low profile DVX-POD 7010 does not sport a DVD loader, but instead stores files on its 20GB hard drive. According to the company, the hard drive can support about 30 MPEG-4 films, 5,000 MP3 files, or 20,000 pictures.

In addition, the DVX-POD 7010 can be used as video recorder and can connect directly to a TV or DVD player without the use of a PC. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 and PAL or NTSC AV connectors, and recorded files are encoded into the MPEG-4 format.

The DVX-POD 7010 will be priced between US$599 and US$699, and the company said it has already attracted attention from international companies and distributors in the US and Europe. MobiNote expects to ship 200,000 DVX-POD 7010 units by June 2005.
