Portable DVD player also shows TV, photos

Toshiba have released a portable viewing device that offers a wide variety of options.

The SD-P1700 is ostensibly a WideScreen DVD player. But its 7″ screen is also capable of showing pictures stored onto an SD, MMC, xD, or Memory Stick.

It even has an analog TV tuner, giving access to a certain range of “traditional” viewing as well. Speaking of “traditional” things, the machine runs on batteries, which can last up to 4 hours and are rechargeable and lithium ion in variety.

The SD-P1700 will retail for US$179.99 and will be available beginning in April.
