The
RCA Mobile Video Player should be called the Parent Sanity Machine.
Its a 15 lb mobile video cassette player about
the size of a small canister vacuum cleaner -- that allows you
to take your movie library wherever you go.
That means the kids can watch their favorite videos on those
long car rides. The device features a 5.6 inch (diagonal) color
LCD screen that pops up as an impromptu TV monitor. It has a
couple of built in speakers, but for a silent ride it has two
headphone jacks.
In the box is a car adapter, but it can also get power off an
outlet.
The gadget is engineered to withstand bumps and shakes youd
normally encounter while driving. It can also connect to a DVD
player or video game console to act as a portable monitor, perhaps
for the cottage.
Movie buffs, movie makers or Mom and Dads will love this device.
The only thing missing is a battery pack so that you can take
this gadget into the woods. You know, for those instructive
bear avoidance videos.
Price: $699.99 Canadian, $399 US
