Panasonic Blu-ray Car Entertainment Center
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: GPS, HDTV, Movies, Music, Transportation, Wireless / WiFi,
Since you are already buying Blu-ray discs for your home, maybe it is time to upgrade to Panasonic’s car entertainment system. Install the CN-HX900D dash-mountable device with its CD/DVD player, 40GB Windows hard drive, GPS, and Bluetooth and iPod/iPhone compatibility. Add to that a 7-inch 1280x720 display. Then you need a CYBB1000D for the kidlets in the back. Look for it to come out in the fall. No price has been released as yet, but we figure this one is going to cost a bit.

Newegg Deal: Panasonic VIERA 42” HDTV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Hot Deals,
Just saw that Newegg has a nice deal on the Panasonic VIERA TC-P42X1 42-inch 720p HDTV, selling it for $699.99 from now through 4/30. What we like about this set is that, for the price, you get a 600Hz set that has deep colors, and fantastic scaling technology for bringing non-native sources to 16:9. It sports a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, 3 HDMI inputs, and ATSC, NTSC, and QAM tuners. Take a look at the Panasonic VIERA TC-P42X1 on Newegg, and use promo code TV4211 to get the savings.
As always, you can find all sorts of Newegg coupon codes and deals on our forums.

Momitsu is releasing perhaps the first region-free standalone Blu-ray 2.0 player. The BDP-899 can play DVDs and Blu-ray discs that have been purchased anywhere. The player is BD-Live ready, has HDMI Deep Color and upscales DVDs to 1080p HD. Playing back MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, Xvid, MP4 HD, WMV9, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, JPEG2000 and GIF formats, details are sketchy as to whether it is already region-free or if a code must be entered to accomplish the task. The BDP-899 is available for $349.99.

Zune HD: First touch screen Zune?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors,
If what you see above is truly the Zune HD, the next iteration of Microsoft’s flagship PMP, then color us both curious and impressed. Impressed by the seemingly high definition screen, curious at the lack of the Zune hardware’s calling card, the Zune pad. Could we be looking at the first touch screen Zune, sporting an HD display? If so, we’d like one immediately. Time to make some phone calls.
