contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness, the ViewSonic MovieBook HD

impressive is hardly lamentable when viewed alongside similarly
specified PMPs.
Today's consumers have more gadgets than ever, most dedicated to
performing a singular function, said Jeff Volpe, vice president and
general manager of ViewSonic North America, who introduced the ViewSonic
MovieBook. Our new MovieBook is designed to combine many of these
individual devices into one, making digital content portable and user
friendly.
The ViewSonic MovieBook has just been made available in black, white and
(of course) pink and will set you back a far from unreasonable $129.99.
