Panasonic portable Blu ray player
peep this out:
The main reason the DMP-B15 works as a standalone player is its HDMI output. Connect the DMP-B15 to an HDTV and it's capable of outputting a 1080p signal and high resolution audio, just like larger units. For older TVs, there's also an composite AV output to be used with the included breakout cable. An SD slot is included and you'll need to insert a card (not included) to use BD-Live features. Rounding out the connectivity is is a headphone jack and an Ethernet port. Just like the DMP-BD60, the DMP-B15 can access Panasonic's proprietary Internet content portal, VieraCast, which includes YouTube and Picasa, with Amazon Video On Demand coming soon.
Even with extensive standalone Blu-ray functionality, the DMP-B15's price is still a major issue. We did a quick browse of laptops available with Blu-ray drives and found the Sony VGN-NS290J available for $900. Sure, the laptop doesn't have an HDMI output, but it has a much larger screen (15.4 inches), higher native resolution (1,280x800), built-in Wi-Fi and can obviously do more than just play back Blu-ray movies. We haven't tested the VGN-NS290J, so we don't know how well it performs, but we wouldn't be surprised if many consumers thought it offered a lot more value than the DMP-B15.
