Commodore PMC30 30GB PMP Review

Commodore is back as PMP. XtremeComputing has published a review of the Commodore PMC30 30GB portable media player. This PMP looks somehow familiar.

Quote:
"The PMC30 could have been great, the video playback quality on the player even when outputted to a TV was excellent as well as sharp but not as good as the Viliv. Although I thought this player was brilliant in more ways the one thing that stopped it from being great was how temperamental it turned out to be. From the time, I have had the PMP I have had to reset it about 6 times, from where it does not start up properly to crashes from time to time. "
Read the full review.
It is questionable if the Commodore name is still doing anything for new gadgets.
