Pressbox (Press Release) -
Portable music has come a long way since the first MP3 players that could only store a few tracks at a time. Dukebox.com has been a specialist electronics retailer focusing specifically in the portable jukebox niche for a number of years.
Their latest offering: the new Archos Multimedia Jukebox range AV120, AV140, AV320 and AV340 (http://uk.dukebox.net/proddetail.php/35/UK/) These can store over 200 hours of music and 10 hours of video and still have space to spare. That’s over 200 albums plus 6 full-length feature films on a single device the size of a pack of of cigarettes, and still have room for more. A lot more in the case of the 40GB models.
Better still with a simple add-on module anyone can record video directly on to their Jukebox from any analogue video source, such as your TV or camcorder, with-out any need to download it to your computer. Truly portable video and audio recording and playback for about 350 quid.
Dukebox.com takes a "best of breed" approach to the products it sells. Rather than let the consumer spend hours researching and trawling information to try and find out what the products strengths and weaknesses are, Dukebox carries out its own rigorous testing and then offers what they see as the best product in the market. Even then it's not just the positive side to the products - the warts are pointed out, highlighted and where appropriate ridiculed.
With the likes of Kazaa, Grokster and dozens of other peer-to-peer music and video networks, users are able to search and download all sorts of content. The explosion in these devices is yet to come.
