WHY I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY
Mvisto media player
Why did you buy it?
To take hundreds of movies to watch at my friends' houses without carting around DVDs.
What does it do for you?
It stores movies in a bunch of formats -- like DivX -- and plays them back straight into a normal television. There's a small remote control that lets you navigate through the films on the hard disk and select the one you want. It's an 80GB drive, so I can fit days and days of films on it.
Would you recommend it to others? Why?
Yes, everyone deserves an Mvisto. If I had to carry around these movies on DVD I'd need three suitcases. This tiny drive fits in my pocket and travels with me..jpg)
