Building Anything On Top Of A DVD Player
from the go-where-the-popular-appliances-hang-out dept
Everyone knows that the popular consumer electronics device this year is the DVD player. Even my parents got around to buying one (which is a bigger deal than you might imagine). Consumer electronics makers have realized that in order to get other devices into the hands of consumers, they might as well build them on top of DVD players. So, while there are the standard combo DVD/VHS players, there are also DVD players that will access your MP3 files and even a portable DVD player (coming out under the Jeep brand) that will come with a lantern, emergency flasher and (best of all) an audio mosquito repellent. Seems pretty gimmicky to me, but you get the idea. For a while I've been saying that PVR functionality, like TiVo, would be the core of any "home media center", but mabye I was a bit hasty. It seems that the DVD player is taking on that role.

But what happens if...
Geez, there's going to be a lot of cool devices out in the next couple of years that do a LOT of different things. Maybe I won't have to buy a new A/V center next year to hold all my equipment. Although, I do like the look of several stacked components. ;-)
