Forget the video iPod. Check out Rollei's es1030g, a pocket-sized video player with digital camera, stereo sound system and a big screen to enjoy music, photos and videos anytime and anywhere. The new portable media player has a 1.3-megapixel camera and digital zoom, the first such player-camera hybrid to be launched in the market. Released this week and priced at $3,980, the versatile es1030G plays MP3 files, stores still images, provides a minimum seven hours of mpeg-4 movie playback per full charge, takes photos and records video, and stores data via its USB 2.0 connection. It measures 116 x 78 x 23mm and weighs 240 grams. The Rollei handheld also comes with a 30-gigabyte hard disk drive, a 3.5-inch liquid crystal display, FM radio, digital voice recorder, built-in microphone and stereo speakers.
