For those long car trips punctuated by the children's fistfights and the interminable replaying of Hilary Duff's latest CD, the Coby TF-DVD560, a portable DVD/CD player, may offer some relief. It has 12 built-in classic Sega games, a remote control and a DC adapter for use both on the road and at home. And it includes a pair of earphones.

While not exactly a household name, low-end home technology manufacturer Coby Consumer Electronics is making noise with its super-slim TF-DVD500 portable dvd/mp3 player.
