Topfield's TFP20 Portable Media Player offers a 4" widescreen LCD, and you can record directly from your TV, DVD or CD player to the HDD via the AV-in port. There is even a timer mode which enables the player to act as a VCR, but as yet there is no EPG support.

The TFP20 will also act as a USB host, meaning that you can plug a memory key or camera directly into the device to transfer media without the need for a PC

The TFP20 includes a detachable lithium-polymer battery with up to 6 hrs of movie viewing or 10 hrs of audio, AV cables, ear phones, stand, remote control, and a USB host cable.

The Topfield PMP is compact at 118(L) x 65(W) x 20(H), and weighs 270g. It supports most video and music formats, has an RRP of $799, and will be available from Topfield stockist by late March.
