Hey guys, Ian here! It’s Tuesday again, and time for me to share with you something new and amazingly cool! In keeping with the new year in just a couple more days, I think it’s time to review the Myvu Personal Media Viewer, the future of personal media and entertainment.
Did you ever think “Man I love my iPod but this tiny screen just isn’t doing it for me.”? Welcome to the Myvu Personal Media Viewer. The Myvu media viewer has three options to to fit your lifestyle and needs.
- The Myvu Crystal ($299) is the flagship of Myvu corporations portable media viewer line, featuring a slim design for superior portability and comfort, as well as full VGA quality (640×480) Featuring SolidOptex® – the Myvu patented optical system and built in noise canceling earbuds. Up to 4 hours of rechargeable battery life.
- The Myvu Solo Plus ($99) features QVGA quality video output (320×240) and similar noise canceling earbuds and battery life (up to 4 hours of rechargeable battery life).
- The Myvu Shades ($160) features QVGA (320×240), noise canceling earbuds, and up to 10 hours of rechargeable battery life.
All of these models feature full screen viewing of your various media types played through your iPod, iPhone, Zune, Archos player, Nokia N95, and pretty much anything else that accepts standard RCA plugs. A nice touch they have added is noise isolating ear buds, so those long flights and loud background noises won’t be an issue when you’re trying to enjoy that new episode of The Big Bang Theory or perhaps that next blockbuster film…
Now do keep one thing in mind: the full VGA video output is going to look a little grainy on most media players as they are usually designed for smaller resolutions (320×240 or so) You will probably want to re-code your video to a larger format or simply begin downloading/ripping higher quality videos.
