CES: Brands Miss The Killer App(s) With Mobile Video Players

By Guy Brighton on January 5, 2006

You can have a slick mobile video player, you can have a slick phone. But you can’t have both, it seems, by looking at the products presented at this year’s CES expo. You may have noticed that one of our themes is ‘Battle For The Bulge’ – an idea that one day consumers will (want to) carry just one portable gadget in their pocket. Mobile video players are huge this year at CES (inspired by the Video iPod, we’d guess) – but they all fail to meet our new expectations.

Mobile video maker manufacturers: here’s the killer apps you missed: it needs to be a phone AND have WiFi.

If you buy one of these, we’d suggest that you expect to replace it pretty soon.

LG’s Video Player
Toshiba’s Video Player
Samsung’s Video Player
