PQI mPack P800 review

Reviews WMV is a patchy experience and you'll often have to contend with copyright restrictions. Our biggest gripe with most portable media players is their cliquey attitude to reading video. Most will only play either WMV files or MP4.

watermark

Reviews If you buy a watermarked MP3, then distribute it over the Internet, the RIAA will be able to tell that you are the person who originally broke copyright law and distributed the file. A unique inaudible code that is inserted into an audio file in...

Sling Media Slingbox Pro-HD review

Reviews An HDMI connector would've been nice, but that would introduce pesky copyright protection and digital-rights management issues. When Sling Media released a trio of second-generation models in the autumn of 2006, the Slingbox Pro was at the top of...

Samsung SyncMaster T220 review

Reviews The T220 does include HDCP support for displaying high-definition copyright-protected content. Is it possible to base a monitor purchase strictly on the display's bezel? If so, Samsung has an LCD to sell you.

Genius G-Shot DV1210 review

Reviews Beyond using the DV1210 as a portable media player, the only use for this function that springs to mind, in the context of such an Internet-friendly camcorder, is to capture TV content for subsequent copyright-bashing upload to the Web.

Dell Crystal review

Reviews The Dell Crystal offers HDCP support for displaying high-definition copyright-protected content, but this screen has a native resolution of 1,680x1,050 pixels, which means it will need to scale to display 1080p content.

Thomson Lyra PDP2860 review

Reviews The Archos AV320 ignores such copyright protection. Thomson has finally released the personal video player that it announced almost a year ago: the 20GB Lyra PDP2860. While it lets you enjoy music and movies wherever you go and has a slicker design...

Sony Walkman NW-A1000 review

Reviews Sony has had a lot of bad press recently over its copyright protection methods, but Connect Player seems to be fairly liberal in what it will let you transfer. Though the company's Walkman ruled the 80s when it almost single-handedly established a...

Creative Zen Vision review

Reviews Even then, be prepared for some technical headaches when ripping your DVD movies, thanks to the copyright issues involved. Archos is the only player of note -- even efforts from a major manufacturer like Samsung have largely gone unnoticed.

iRex iLiad review

Reviews There are, however, plenty of sources of free books online, including many from big name authors that are out of copyright. It uses a technology called E Ink, which doesn't flicker and doesn't use a backlight, so you're presented with a rock-steady...

Rio Carbon Pearl (5GB) review

Reviews There's also a View mode that displays bit rate, codec, copyright protection and size, as well as the always handy date and time. Despite having a design flaw where the use of many third-party headphones created annoying static (this has since been...
