So on link-san the Play Yan is out of stock, but there is something called the Play Yan Micro. Best I can figure this is simply the Play Yan with the update pre-installed (the MPEG4 one).
then I saw this:
It has been released in Japan. A release in the US and Europe has been planned for late 2005.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play-YanNow this is WikiPedia, and not an official site. But with the marketing type name change, i can hope, right?
That being said, I think I really want one of these. I have read not so great reviews of the game boy movie player, and this one is a Nintendo product. Just wish I could play with it for a bit to see how it works. Anyone out there have input on this? I wouldn't use it to replace the iPod, but could I put a movie (or a few episodes of something) on it (easily?) and watch them?
