Really Sweet, People Wanting TVs... Options

[snadman]

OK. I just got this really sweet thing for Christmas called a Zen Portable Media Center (referred to as PMC from now on) by the company Creative...they sell them at Best Buy for about 500 USD. Anyways, it gives you 20GB of storage for pictures, movies, tv shows, and music. It has about a 4 inch by 4 inch screen on it and the clarity is beautiful. I see all the time people wanting to put TVs in their cars so they could watch DVD's or whatever. Obviously it has no RCA inputs so that's the only downside about this rather than a TV. BUT, I found a way using my XM Radio's car kit to run the audio signal through the stereo in my car. Really simple to switch between the XM and the PMC because you just take the 1/8" jack out of the XM cradle and plug it in the PMC headphone jack. The carrying case that comes with the PMC allows you to stick the folded out ended in the compartment underneath your stereo and it stays there just fine. Only bad part is you have slight coverage of your climate control stuff. Anyways, it's really awesome. I have two movies on it, a few clips of the Chappelle Show where he impersonates Lil Jon (f-in hilarious!), and about 300 MP3s. It's the tits, and can be taken out on the spot to bring it back in the house or just to use again as what it was meant for. I just wanted to post this to recommend this new product to people interested in being able to watch DVDs or whatever on long road trips, because at $500, it's much cheaper than getting a DVD player for your car as well as the TV and then hooking all that crap up. Also, since the Celica is pretty compact, even people in my backseat could see the screen without getting out of their seats, just gotta lean in a tick. Sweet gadget.
