Toshiba’s new Gigabeat V30T plays music, displays photos, and shows video, and so qualifies as a PMP, or Personal Media Player, and as if that were not enough, the thing also receives and records TV. Unfortunately the V30T only works with digital TV, so it’s unlikely to make an appearance outside of Japan. Aside from that, the V30T has a nice bright 400cd/m2 3.5-inch QVGA display, a long battery life and a 30 GB hdd. The V30T is a kind of bigger, badder version of the Gigabeat S30.

I hadn’t heard the term Personal Media Player. It seems like devices with three-word names (PDA’s, PMP’s, etc.) went out with the smartphone.
They should have called this the Personal Integrated Media Player, or PIMP.
