No big secret this existed, but Toshiba has officially premiered its new V Series Portable Media Player a scant few months after releasing the S Series.
The V is geared more to the movie watcher than the music listener despite performing both functions. Sporting a large 3.5" screen, TFT LCD display with 320 x 240 resolution, and an alleged 8 hours of video playback capability before needing a charge, I'd say Toshiba succeded at catering to the video fan. That is assuming, they are accurate with their claim of 8 hours of battery life which sounds ambitious.
With a larger screen, built in speaker, longer battery life, and revamped design the Gigabeat V looks like a nice follow up to the S series.
The Gigabeat V will run you $399.99 and will is available for pre-orders exclusively through Amazon and Crutchfield starting today.
