with current staple being the mp3 player. There are two main categories of mp3 players: flash based and hard drive based. Each category of players has their strengths and weaknesses.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/toodis/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/toodis/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/toodis/01th.jpg" width="250" height="199" border="0" alt="Toodis Mpal 400 Ultra Compact AV Player"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">While mp3 players are the current "it" device, the future of portable entertainment is moving towards the PVP (Portable Video Player). Believe it or not, PVPs also come in the two different storage based categories. Though hard drive based PVPs are getting the most attention in the press, flash based PVPs do exist. One such unit is the Mpal 400 Ultra Compact AV Player from the Korean company Toodis. Just what exactly is a flash based AV player capable of? Let's find out.</p> <p align="left"><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/toodis/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/toodis/02th.jpg" width="250" height="205" border="0" alt="Toodis Mpal 400 Ultra Compact AV Player"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">The Mpal 400 comes packaged in a film themed retail box.
