Can be Flash based (SD/CF etc) or HDD based.

PDAs with media player, PMPs, photo iPods - all welcomed.
Ideal for watching movies during those long tube journeys.

Palm Tungsten E Handheld PDA 32MB Ram Transflective TFT Display. Palm Os 5.2.1 plus a 512MB SD card should cost you less than £150 inc. VAT; enough for 2 hours of low res movies.

Also this one I spotted earlier - more expensive than the palm one (which is a damn good price!) - but will give you 80 hours of video and has a built in FM tuner.

They seem to be getting good reviews stateside aswell
