Looking for something to watch videos on the move. What to get?

I'm looking for a mobile video player so I can watch videos on the train/plane/bus. It just needs to play videos, not worried about anything else. Archos ones seem to be way over the top now. I don't needs GPS, Internet, etc - I have a phone which does that. All my requirements are the battery life has to be good, video and sound needs to be good quality, doesn't cost the earth, and can play DivX/XviD files without having to convert them. Screen should be 4.3" or 5" so it can fit in my pocket.

Ebuyer have something which may fit my needs. But there isn't much information on the internet about it. The only things I can find are forum posts.

Can anyone recommend anything?

    to be honest it does depend on your budget, that player doesnt seem that bad (for your usage requirements) and ebuyer are usually pretty good with returns
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Budget is pretty flexible, but I don't really want to pay for stuff I wouldn't be using. For example the Archos 5 160GB Tablet looks good, but it has things like web, email, GPS which I wouldn't be using.
