Mp4 Cinema Poised to Take a Bite out of the Apple iPod Dominance

With the holiday shopping season right around the corner, online importers are looking to make a big splash with advanced personal media Mp4 technology. Mp4 players have been exceedingly popular in China for more than a year, but have only recently been introduced to the American market to challenge Mp3 technology and the popular iPod players with improved compression rates, video compatibility and expanded functions.

(PRWEB) November 6, 2006 -- Apple's iPod has reigned over the American personal media player market for years, offering up some of the largest drive capacities and smallest devices for personal music and video use. But the online importers at GadgetGreats hope to carve out their own share of the market with a new line of competitively priced Mp4 digital player (http://www.gadgetgreats.com/) and recorders from China .

An Mp4 digital player has the capability to play both high quality audio and video while storing the data at a higher compression rate than ordinary Mp3 players. Though the newest generations of iPods have been enhanced with their own video capabilities, GadgetGreats (http://www.gadgetgreats.com/) owner Tunde Sosanya says that he believes the combination of better file compression, lower prices and expanded device functions like video recording will make his Mp4 digital player selection more attractive for the upcoming holiday shopping season.

"The amazing thing is that if you ask the typical person on the street if they know what an Mp4 player is, they won't have any idea," Sosanya says. "GadgetGreats aims to educate the consumers about the new technology so that they can make an educated decision about the opportunity to buy Mp4 players rather than the far more expensive iPod video players for this holiday season."

Some of the newest portable digital media players that GadgetGreats has introduced include the D-RISE iPod video goggles, which users can wear like eyeglasses that simulate a 36-inch widescreen television. They've also introduced a RISE 1GB Mp4 Video Player, which can hold more than 250 songs, 38 music videos or 5 full length feature films. The player, which is about the size of an iPod Nano, can also record audio, store photos and pick up FM radio stations at a total cost of about $170 less than iPod's equivalent device.

Their newest device is their RISE 2GB Mp4 Cinema Watch has only been released for 1 week in China. Mp4 Watches hold both Mp3 audio and MP4 video files and displays videos on a 1.5-inch, high resolution OLED screen. The RISE OLED Mp3-Mp4 Watch is already one of their best sellers on wholesale site, ChinaGrabber.com. Retail Consumers can still buy Mp4 players on GadgetGreats.com in time for holiday delivery, Sosanya says.

This generation of personal media player technology is new to the American market, but has been incredibly popular in China for more than a year. The rise of video sharing sites like YouTube and MySpace has driven the demand for improved portable video technology, and sales exploded in China when portable video recorder-player combos that used Mp4 compression were introduced to their market. The same types of recorder-players are currently available from GadgetGreats.
