It is kind of pixelated, for this screen size (8.5 inc), for expensive models also. I guess you have to got to blueray to get any thing better than this. 3) The greatest feature is it can read extremely scratchy DVDs and play it. On the display they had a movie disk in the player. It was horribly scratchy, looked like some one used it as a skate board. It played fine on this machine. The Panasonic DVD player, which is $178 could not even load it. I had an expensive Sony DVD/player and recorder, but it will not play a DVD if you have a finger print or slight scratch. So just for this feature I will give it a Big five star. 4) The sound is not bad, when I played a nice music CD, the sound came out pretty good. I was surprised. The noisy movies did not have that great sound, but it has a digital sound out, you can put out 5.1 Dolby to your sound system. I did not try that out. 5) It has Video out in case, the DVD with your TV cannot play the scratchy DVD. 6) It is lite, easy to carry, has li-ion battery. 7) Also has a remote, in case you want, it. Must point at the right corner of the player. 8) I bought it to take it to India, so made sure it can output PAL video signal and it has that option, not tried it yet. Tried few Indian DVDs and Video CDs, worked fine, without a hitch, very fast in loading, compared to other players. Thanks sguha.

Petrova "FrequentBuyer" - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Coby TFDVD8509 8.5-Inch Widescreen TFT Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I bought this a gift that I will be sending to our family in Europe. Since it will travel so much I had to make sure that it works well before sending it. I charged it and tested it with DVDs bought in the US and from Europe. It had no problem playing them. The sound is extremely good and it can be very loud without sacrificing quality. You can see lines on the screen, kind of like the old tv-s. The picture could be better, I mean, but I have no idea how other models compare, so it might as well be a good picture. Anyway, the menu is very intuitive, everything is available on the player itself, so there is no need for remote really. But having a remote is a good idea, anyway. The feature that I liked a lot is that you can output video to a TV, so it can be used as a DVD player at home for the big screen. Also, it can read DVD-R+/- which is great. It is a very good player for the money.

This review is from: Coby TFDVD8509 8.5-Inch Widescreen TFT Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I bought this for my mom who takes a 6 hour round trip every 3 weeks. She has gotten alot of use out of this, and absolutely loves it. It is easy to use, which is good for her, because she usually gets flustered with electronics. I would highly recommend this product to those that like to have something simple to watch movies on that also looks great.

Would you pay to read your favorite newspaper online? Most say no, at least according to a new Harris poll.

With traditional print newspapers struggling to turn a profit, many have turned to the Web as a means to stay afloat. While some offer their online content free of charge, other papers have played around with subscriptions by charging readers a monthly fee. But that strategy may backfire, says a Harris poll released Wednesday.

Pay for Newspapers Online?

Saw a commercial for the Times Reader 2.0 on Hulu recently. Anyone out there taking advantage of it? Looks really slick. Soon ePaper will be upon us in a big way.

Current Times Reader subscribers get free access to Times Reader 2.0—powered by Adobe AIR. Now available for Macintosh, PC and Linux users, and full of new enhancements, Times Reader 2.0 is a smarter, more intuitive way to experience and enjoy the world’s greatest journalism: The New York Times.

I’m all for things like this. It doesn’t appear you can purchase it separately, though. I’d look into it if I had a little more time.

Times Reader 2.0

John Temple has a good write-up mentioning two pieces about the future of news. (Hat tip to Journerdism)

First up is: The Data That Turns Browsing to Buying at the NY Times.

As it has quietly expanded, Next Jump has been gathering data, and not only from companies and customers. It also gets credit-card transaction data from American Express and MasterCard. This vast trove — accumulated over years — is the company’s most precious asset, analysts say.

Next Jump analyzes that data to draw inferences about what a person would be likely to buy, and at what price. Its network also includes 28,000 retailers who can specify the characteristics of customers — age, location, income, for example — that they are most interested in luring with certain products.

It still seems newspapers don’t have a source of information like this.

The second piece is Daily Mirror’s Matt Kelly: put SEO in its place by Robert Andrews at PaidContent/Guardian. Basically, it says to put journalism before SEO. Do big media companies even know what they’re doing with SEO? (Remember Love.com?)

Love.com Dead?

Maybe I missed the formal announcement, but it appears to be pretty much dead. (Aaron Wall over at SEO Book had some information on this in a comment recently – saying why their model didn’t work while other models similar have…)

Ah, but the meat maybe is that journalism should come first…

But if you’re starting out with nothing should you make money to make journalism or make journalism to make money?

Comments?

The drama continues. I’m pretty much on Google’s side at least for this one.
