Yay! My newest gadget!

Finally, got my hands on MSI's MegaView 566 Portable Media Player. It's one the cutest things I have ever seen. Along with an XXL-sized attitude, the player packs in functionalities of a photo viewer, MP3 player, video player, video recorder, FM radio, FM recorder, voice recorder, built-in SD/MMC card reader...whew!!!

Am right now on a DivX-collection spree! Converting all my VCDs and DVDs into DivX files to watch them on my 566. Also, I dont have to worry about the battery backup since MSI provides a free extra recharegable lithium-ion battery with the 566 - so it makes two batteries in the pack!

I also intend to read this post to get the most out of my 566...
