Question ID: 270359
I am looking for a handeld with video possibilities.  The requirements
would be:

Handheld:
Basic functionalities such as contacts, agenda, tasks, calculator.  No
need for email or web navigation

Video
-Should play most common codecs including DivX
-Shoudn't require to convert video before
-Display at least size of normal handheld (palm for example).  Archos
multimedia player's screen is too small for example
-Large storage space.  At least 700 megs either on the device or easy
attachable device such as CF card or usb drive
-Long lasting recheargeable battery.  (Is there an alternative?  I
could live with plug-it-in if nothing exist)
-Hear phones plug
-mp3 player would be nice

Other:
-BlueTooth would be nice 
-Transfer of video file should be rather quick (not desperate but
faster then serial!)
-Would be nice to easilly connect to alien computers when needed

Price:
-The price is something quite important since I am looking for the
best solution at the lowest price.  Is there anything around 500$  Am
I dreaming at this price?  If not, how much would a good solution be?
-Is the solution also available to be purchased in Europe?

Thank you!

Hi,

I doubt you will be able to find a handheld that will be able to play
most DivX content without conversion. These are usually encoded for
desktop PCs with 500MHz CPUs or faster, I doubt any handheld has
enough processor power for this application. On the other hand if you
are prepared to reencode videos at a lower resolution and bitrate,
then you can probably find what you're looking for.

Thanks.
