Toshiba SD-P2700: DVD-a-go-go

“Sweet heavens, is that really a portable DVD player?” we hear you cry. Crave had also been labouring under the impression that the entire world had moved onto hard drive-based video devices, but Toshiba’s SD-P2700 has proved us entirely wrong.

Not only does it have a 23cm SVGA screen, but it can play DivX files, meaning you can watch all those, ahem, ‘backups’ on the go. Not only that, but your photos of that perfect summer in Spain can be revisited whenever you like thanks to an integrated 3-in-1 memory card reader (SD, MMC, Memory Stick). With two headphone sockets, you can share DVD love with the beautiful stranger beside you on the train home to Bracknell.

Tosh’s SD-P2700 is so fancy that it even includes stereo DVD-Audio playback, which means you can also listen to…whatever the hell it is that  has actually made it to release on DVD-A. Nothing springs to mind, but a concept album by Bjork is probably a good bet.

It will be on sale in June for around £400. -GC
