Ready, steady, Go: you'll be set for whatever adventure the road brings your way when you pack GoVideo's DP7240 portable DVD player. The unit features off-road construction for the rigors of an active lifestyle, including anti-shock protection (ASP) and stylish blue Impact Shield rubber edges. The player's 7-inch LCD is configured in for 16:9 widescreen movies, and it'll spin your photo CDs and music CDs, too.

The DP7240 comes with a rechargeable battery good for around 2.5 hours of playing time and a credit-card-style remote that's small enough to slip into a pocket. The payer's optical-media compatibility extends from standard DVD-Video to recordable DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, music CD, Kodak Picture CD, and recordable discs filled with JPEG images or MP3 music files. Is it equipped to show your custom slide digital-photo shows to relatives while you're traveling? You bet it is.

Connect a camcorder, video game or other external audio and video source and enjoy home movies and games while you're on the go. Or, take advantage of the unit's coaxial digital-audio output and route it through your surround-decoding AV receiver and multichannel speaker system to get the full benefits of its home theater abilities (coaxial audio cable not included).

Listen through the unit's built-in stereo speakers, or take advantage of its .125-inch headphone jack (headphones not included) to listen in private--or to confine gaming noises to the gamer's head. Additional supplied accessories include a car adapter/charger, an AC adapter/charger, and audio/video hookup cables.

The unit even sports a progressive-scan component-video output for use with your high-definition or HD-ready TV or monitor. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote battery, a rechargeable player battery pack, a DC vehicle power adapter, an AC/DC power adapter, audio/video hookup cables, a user's manual, a quick-reference guide, and warranty information.

While MMC over CompactFlash limits the ability of the EM-500 to use many Pocket PC peripherals, we were willing to overlook that once we got a peek at the EM-500's gorgeous TFT screen. This very bright, very colorful (65,536 colors, to be exact) display shines beautifully when you're playing games or watching mobile video player clips, which run along at a respectable 15 to 20 frames per second with the EM-500's 150 MHz MIPS processor.

The thick EM-500 (about twice the thickness of the Palm Vx) offers standard Casio programmable buttons to bring up the menu, calendar, and contacts, as well as a navigational D-pad, which is great for gaming. In addition to functioning as a stereo MP3 player (when using the included headphones), the EM-500 also works as a voice recorder, allowing you to dictate reminders for yourself or voice messages to send with e-mail. Casio promises six hours of battery life, but we often were able to get seven or more as long as we left the backlight on medium brightness.

With its IrDA port, the EM-500 can communicate with wireless devices, and its USB connection provides speedy data transfer--even installing programs larger than a megabyte took only a few seconds.

Despite the limited memory and the lack of CompactFlash support, the powerful processor, excellent display, and long battery life make the EM-500 a competitive entry into the Pocket PC market. --J. Curtis
