Crap they need to MAKE!. (part 2)

A Better Video Player!

Like the Better Cellphone, they need to get rid of buttons on the face. There should only be a Bright OLED Screen on front and THAT'S IT!!

What else?

  • Small size
  • Simple controls
  • Long battery life (at least 3 hrs)
  • HD ready
  • Wide media compatibility (Mp2, DivX, Ogm, etc...)
  • Ample Storage (at least 40 gigs)

    Ok, form factor and screen size will be an issue. We want smaller stuff (pocket size) and bigger screens. From the picture, it's about the size of a 2 laptop hard drive stacked.

    Solution?

    A magnifier. The screen isn't tiny at 5" diag.
    Having a 1.75 x Magnifier lens will help boost the screen size to almost 9" diag.
    The screen/lens cover also serve as the control.
    Using up/down button for on-screen functions (movie selection, video settings, etc..) while serving as volume control as well. Search buttons (<< >>) serves the same purpose.
    Play and Pause are the same button.
    The screen is also a touchscreen allowing easier selection.

    Also, there should be an option to convert it to an universal remote.
    The IR Port would be used or used for wireless file transfer OR like some Sony product, allowing video to be played on the tv using the IR port.
    Firewire allowing fast file transfer also recharging of batteries while docked.
    It also allows you to hook it up to your HD TV/Decoder/DVD/etc.. to record your show.

    What no SPEAKER?

    Nope, to keep the player small, speakers will be omitted. Plus speakers that small won't sound good anyway. Plus people around you don't need to hear the moans & groans from your Porno!

    • I like the thought you've put into this. I think the Nintendo DS's lower screen can easily be pointed to as a proof of concept to your player's viability. Multiple programmers have used the bright, durable touchscreen to display and execute a myriad of in-game functions. Plus, the entire DS is sub-$200, I imagine eliminating the second screen, speakers, and gaming-related functions would make your player extremely attractive for everybody.
