Philips Announces PMC7230 Portable Media Center

Equipped with a 3.5" screen, the PMC7230 from Philips is one of the newest entrants into the portable media device fray. It comes equipped with an impressive 30 GB hard drive, which will hold about 15,000 audio tracks. With the PMC7230, you'll be able to download video or audio directly from sources like your TV. One downside is that it does not have a memory card slot, and considering how quickly video files can eat up space, this device is most likely intended for people who want to swap out their content from time to time.

It's also compatible with Microsoft's PlaysForSure platform. What's also nice about this device is that you will be able to watch videos for a good 5 hours (or music for 18 hours) before needing a recharge.
The Philips PMC7230 Portable Media Center currently has a scheduled street date of September 2006 in the US, with an estimated retail price of $349.99, which is about the going rate for a PVP with this level of functionality.
