VGA portable HDD player

Did anyone use one of those ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d..._BIN_Stores_IT

I got one tonight in local computer store and I like it.
It is bit bigger than 2.5 " hard drive and it has VGA and composit out.

It looks like VGA output is 640X480 but it movies look good on
both 19" CRT and 19" LCD that I have.
It downsamples nicely movies that are wider than 640 pixels.

Might be useful for people with overhead panels that need to reduce size.

If quality is not bad on projection I might hook up this
to my future 15" projector permanently and avoid HTPC.

This things has interface similar to philips DVP642 that I have
but it plays some video files that philips can not.

If nothing else I can always have few good movies with me when I visit friends

Cheers!

There is yahoo group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hddplayers/
That has been setup to try and make the most of these little players.
It looks like the one you got is included:

Yes, it looks like same unit...
There is also model that has OTG
(can copy files from camera to hard drive without PC).
There is always another feature missing
