We like:
Gorgeous widescreen LCD; native support for all mainstream video codecs; slick chassis design
We don't like:
Occassionally befuddling menus
You might also need:
If you have a big screen TV the mPack can also feed video to this -- at a stunning full-resolution DVD quality
CNET.co.uk judgement:
It's taken a relative newcomer to show the old timers how to do things right. PQI hasn't been in the mainstream long, but its P600 blows away the competiton like a nuclear bomb. Feature-wise, there's nothing more to ask for here. A few tweaks to the user-interface and PQI could just push this product from merely impressive to spectacular

10 Feb 2006 in Digital Living
It looks like a cross between a sci-fi prop and a make-up compact, but it's actually a portable video player with a vibrant, widescreen LCD and an extensive range of supported formats. A-list celeb or B-movie pleb, you decide...
