Acer MP-500


This is what the next Apple iPod with video will look like. The thing is it will finally get the widescreen available on competing portables and it will have touchscreen controls too. While Apple may not have any such offering just yet, makers like Acer are more than happy to oblige those who desire such features.
Enter the Acer MP-500, a personal media player that has a 3.5" 320 x 240 pixel touchscreen display and stylus. The unit offers either 20GB or 40GB of storage space, handles the MP3, AAC, as well as the several flavors of WMA formats for audio, and offers a voice recorder. As the red/white/yellow cables on the photo demonstrate the unit offers input and output lines that allow users the option of running their shows on the TV. The unit price in Europe will be $315 to $450.
