iPod compatible portable DVD on the way
Philips yesterday announced the launch of two new iPod compatible portable DVD players.
The electronics giants' DCP750 and DCP850 contain integrated iPod docks which will allow users to access video, music and photos stored on the media player.
With the DVD players coming with seven and eight inch screens respectively, their use will permit iPod owners to view video content in widescreen.
The dock is embedded into the DVD player to allow the iPod to lie flat, ensuring it does not interfere with viewing.
Both models come with a rechargeable battery powerful enough to provide two-and-a-half hours of viewing, as well as an in-car adaptor to permit battery-free operation on the move.
Philips anticipates the new players going on sale during June, with the DCP750 set to cost £149 and the bigger DCP850 coming in at £199.
Meanwhile, Sharp Electronics has launched a pair of new iPod docking stereos.
The DK-A1H and the DK-A10H come complete with AUX input and video output to enable connection to home entertainment systems, allowing users to view iPod stored videos on their televisions.
Like Philips' new offerings, the stereos are set to go on sale during June, with the likely retail price £150 and £200 respectively.
