Amazon.com Product Description
The DP-500 from Denmark-based KiSS (Keep it Simple Solutions) is the first DivX-certified networking DVD player, capable of playing back DivX video, MP3 files, and JPEG digital-photo slideshows in a room of your choosing. All you need for full networking ability is a Windows PC, a wired network connection with the player, and a television.

You can connect the DP-500 directly to the Internet via a broadband connection or through a network (LAN) with a PC whose media contents can be read using the supplied KiSS PC-Link software. Powered by the Sigma Designs EM8500 decoder chip, the player reads DVD-Video (PAL and NTSC) as well as DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs.

The DP-500's support for DivX (including all 3, 4, and 5 versions), ISO MPEG-4, and XviD video-compression formats gives you the ability to download full-screen, full-motion videos from the Internet that look and sound close in quality to what you get from your television or DVD player. Audio compatibility extends to the open-source Ogg Vorbis format for music compression (slightly higher quality than MP3 for a same-size file).

When you plug the player in for the first time, a user-friendly interface prompts you to select language, video connection type, screen size, audio connection, and IP address--an easy five-step setup. To enjoy the player's networking abilities, you'll need to install and run the KiSS PC-Link software (PC only, Windows 98 or higher). With PC-Link, all you have to do is select the files you want to view and they'll be routed to your DP-500 and on to your television for viewing in any connected location.

The player's networking ability means it can also deliver Internet radio. Just select this feature from the player's WebRadio menu and you'll have access to a few thousand streaming radio stations you can enjoy right in the comfort of your living room. Once you've registered, WebRadio will let you choose, customize, and add as many radio stations as you wish.

Whether or not your living room is currently home to an HDTV, the DP-500 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your uncompressed, commercial DVDs. 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.

The player uses the French-developed SCART connection for its component-video (progressive) signal, and a supplied cable provides an interface for use with the standard RCA-tipped jacks on associated equipment. This output allows the player to channel video signals in a manner consonant with not only PAL (European) and NTSC (North American) video systems, but with RGB computer monitors as well (RGB adapter cable not included).

Other outputs include standard composite- and S-video connections, a coaxial digital-audio jack (for passing Dolby Digital and DTS surround signals to a compatible audio/video receiver), and a set of stereo analog RCA jacks.

KiSS will continue to update the player's firmware with improvements based on the latest research and development; the updates will be available from the support section of the kiss-technology.com Web site.

Great protection, with a few flaws.......2006-12-22

The protection is great. I've dropped my Treo inside and it wasn't damaged. I've slipped and fallen on top of it when it was in my pocket and it wasn't harmed.

The openings for the various connectors or the camera and such work fine.

There are two flaws I've come across. One is that the hinge is flimsy and poorly assembled on my unit. It is a simple press fit pin in a simple rolled aluminum sleeve. I have had the pin actually fall out, slide half way out, and I worry that I'll lose the crazy thing.

The opening for the keyboard needs adjustment. It can be especially hard to reach the two top keys for "Dismiss" or "Menu" and they get used a lot. So I end up opening the front anyway. I believe that the opening could be a larger opening all the way around.

I never use the clip, so I can't comment on it in any manner. I continue to use the case and even with its flaws I greatly appreciate the protection it provides.

Hard Case for Treo 700.......2006-08-14

The case is great, really protects the phone. Only complaint; the clip is flimsy. It does not fit on the case securely. If you can find a better clip, this is a great buy.

Great case - bad clip.......2006-04-24

The case is great. It will protect your phone well. I have already dropped the phone and not mark is to be found.

The keypad opening does make it tricky to hit keys around the edge of the keypad, however the upside of this, is that it will prevent inadvertant pressing of buttons.

Talking on the Treo with it up to your ear is a cooler experience. The case seems to isolate you from the phone heating up during long calls.

The belt clip for this case needs some serious attention though. It does not hold a belt or pocket very well and after 3 days of use, I found stress cracks leading away from the hole that the case pivot stud goes into. I have now removed the stud (It screws out) and do not use the clip. The phone now resides in my pocket. No biggie as my old phone was in the same position.
