The Vision sports a 30GB hard drive and a 640 x 480, 262,000-colour, 3.7in display. It's got a radio, microphone, CompactFlash card slot for expansion, and a USB 2.0 port for connectivity. The device plays MPEG 1, 2 and 4-SP video formats, along with WMV 9, Motion JPEG, DivX 4 and 5, and Xvid-SP3. It can also handle TiVoToGo files. It can play MP3 and WMA audio tracks - the latter with DRM support.

Hmmm, looks very nice!

If I could make notes on it, and read ebooks, it would be almost perfect.

no mention of linux, but it implies it's not WinCE based.

:/ Looks to be MS Portable Media Center (Windows CE.net kernel, with a UI more suited to handheld multimedia players) based on the screenshots and flash demo.

Maybe Archos will counter with PMA400-like (i.e. has touchscreen and runs Linux) with a 640x480 screen, with a comparable price. Probably not, though.
