Panasonic Unveils Portable Blu-ray Player

While Sony is occupied trying to saturate the market with its blu-ray technology, Panasonic is focusing on how to make compact players with LCD screens. These new mobile HD devices are bound to gain attention, perhaps taking off where a crop of portable DVD players with screens took the market by storm some years back.

Panasonic’s DMP-B15 has made its industry debut at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and offers on-the-go movie lovers access to solid mobile HD capabilities thanks to a tempting 8.9-inch LCD screen that delivers 1080p performance and a resolution of 1024×600.

Some notable features of this blu-ray player include:

  • Support for online Blu-ray expansion services via BD Live
  • Picture-in-picture access with BonusView
  • An SD memory card reader
  • Built-in HDMI port for interface with HD television sets
  • It also has limited Internet connectivity that allows access to popular video streaming sites like YouTube and Bloomberg News. There is word yet on how one player would cost but the DMP-815 model is expected to hit the market this coming May.
