Mustek has launched a 10 inch LCD 16:9 widescreen tablet portable DVD player.

Sedentary habits are an inevitable part of life for die-hard telly addicts – or are they? Mustek’s new portable DVD player-cum- digital TV receiver may do nothing to curtail square eyes, but it will release hostages from the sofa in their droves.

At first glance the PL8A90 portable DVD player from Mustek sounds too good to be true. The slim tablet-style portable DVD player with anti-shock protection has a 9 inch active matrix TFT LCD screen with aspect ratio 16:9 and plays DVD, DVD+/-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, (S)VCD, Kodak Picture CD and JPEG. The PL8A90 has built-in stereo speakers, 2 stereo headphone jacks and SD/MMC card reader for reading and displaying pictures from your digital camera or phone camera.
