Portable digital audio players like the Apple iPod exist thanks to file compression technology such as MP3. Just like music, digital video can be compacted and squeezed down into manageable files that are perfect for handheld devices.
Creative's Zen Portable Media Center takes advantage of this. It's based on Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system and, to that end, can store and play recorded television, digital photos, music and video.
