REPORT: CENTRIX MVP-100
www.engadget.com
With all the me-too portable video players out there,
we’ve come to sort of take it for granted that new models
from obscure companies aren’t exactly going to wow us
with their features. So, we were pleased to find that the
Centrix MVP-100 (coming soon to a continent near you) was
ranked by Fabrizio Pilato at MobileMag as having the “smoothest
most vivid playback I have seen on any hard drive based player
to date.”
On the downside, Fab says that the player — which sports
a 20GB drive, support for all the usual protocols, and a 3.5-inch
TFT — includes the “worst digital camera I have
ever seen.” Early rumors had the cam at 3 megapixels,
but it’s been scaled back to a mere 1.3 in the production
model. Too bad. But we doubt you’ll be buying this for
the camera.
Pros: Amazing video playback quality, Small size
and great design, Excellent software for playback and recording
audio
Cons: Horrible digital camera, No transfer status
indicator in file manager, No video recording function |
