Thanks.

Why dont you just go to Amazon, do a search and read the specifications for
each system?

thi isn't on-topic in uk.games.video.handheld.

plus, it's probably easier for you to just go and look at the specs of
some.

some people are just bloody lazy these days!

I beg to differ. Many commercial DVDs feature little interactive games
as special features. A portable DVD player which can play these is
therefore a handheld.

Indeed, I can highly recommend the Telly Addicts DVD game, if you can
put up with Noel Edmonds annoying persona. Given me hours of fun at
party's etc..

unless you hold it in one hand, and the remote control in the other.

But quite a few players have menu controls etc.. on the player itself so
you wouldn't have to use the controller.

I've even seen one with a touch screen :)

I think you'll find that portable DVD players tend to have a navigation
'd-pad'. So, yes ;-)

I use a philips model 642/37. Any version Philips 642 should do the job.
I also own a KiSS dp 450. When the first became available in the US and was
selling them through my website.
I still recommend the Philips as it is much more dependable. The KiSS is a
bit buggy. I suppose the fact that I was sort of beta testing firmware on it
could have something to do with the problems it developed.
Im sure you will be happy with the simplicity and performance of the Philips
642 ...for $60-$70 US.
If a file doesnt display correctly the first time with the philips just open
the menu with the controler and tab down to exit the menu and it will play
properly 99% of the time. I havent found a valid .avi file yet that it would
not run.

Sorry...I overlooked the "handheld" part of the question.
I guess I dont have an answer to that one as I cannot figure out why anyone
would want to try watching video on one of those tiny screens so I never
learned about them.
