Aiming to make a mark as one of the market's most powerful and
sophisticated portable media players, Toshiba's Gigabeat MES30VW
doesn't disappoint. The device employs Microsoft's intuitive Portable
Media Center (PMC) software to play your favorite digital movies,
music, and photos, with support for WMA Lossless, WMA, MP3, WAV, WMV,
DivX, and JPEG formats.
The Windows Media Player application even transcodes MPEG-4, AVI, and
MOV formats, making it far more versatile than most video-compatible
players.
Meanwhile, the MES30VW's 30 GB hard drive is capable of holding a ton
of digital media, including about 7,500 songs (more than 500 complete
album) at 128 kbps, a robust 15,000 songs at 64 kbps, and a still-
impressive 850 songs, or 57 hours, of CD-resolution WAV files.
The PC-only device is also PlaysForSure-certified by Microsoft, which
means that it will operate with any similarly designated management
software or download service, such as Napster, Rhapsody, and Wal-Mart
Music Downloads.
Users can also subscribe to movies or TV shows via MTV/Microsoft's
Urge, TiVo to Go, Starz Vongo, and a host of other sites. And because
the MES30VW is automatically recognized by Windows Media Player 10,
you won't need to install drivers of any kind.
The MES30VW's defining feature, however, is its 2.4-inch QVGA display,
which offers a resolution of 320 x 240 (65,000 colors) to ensure elite
video and picture quality. Viewers who want to enjoy optimal
resolution can switch to landscape mode, or they can output the signal
to a full-size TV for group viewing. And serious music fans can
download and view album covers on the screen, search for their
favorite tracks by scrolling through the album covers, or even set a
favorite album as a background image.
The device is prepared for future developments as well, as it's one of
the first media players that can be connected to and controlled via
the Xbox 360's interface. Finally, the MES30VW serves as a USB host,
letting you connect a digital camera to the unit's USB port and then
transfer and view the pics immediately--no PC required. Additional
features include a built-in FM tuner with 30 station presets.
