Rip Roar Video Free Player For Kids

Well it looks like production of PMPs has become so widespread that even children’s toy companies are making them. Designed just for kids by the company Toy Quest the Rip Roar Video Free looks a lot like the dinky fisher price PMP on steroids. While this player certainly holds nothing against the iPod id say it could rival some of the cheaper PMPs out there.

The player can record up to five hours of programming, can learn IR codes from your remote, has an integrated speaker, USB connectivity and 512MB of internal memory.


So since the player is designed for kids how easily can they get content on to it? According to Toy Quest, the Rip Roar connects between your TV and set-top box. You can use any remote to train the cradle and program the desired shows for recording. Once it's time to record, the Rip Roar automatically switches to the right channel. As soon as it's finished recording, you can unplug the Rip Roar and watch your video on its screen or dump it onto your PC with the included USB cable.
