Media. All we ever want is to make our media files more portable and "transfer-friendly." It's one thing to have them on your computer. It's another thing to have them on your TiVo. And ultimately, it's a whole lot different if you have them in your pocket (well, if you've got PSP/NDS-sized pockets, that is).

It supports Mpeg4 format for video and AAC/G.726/AMR for audio onto your memory stick or SD card for whatever device you might have (yes, even a mobile phone). For more info, the "Read" link leads you to all the nitty-gritty tech notes and a full list of its specs and supported media formats.
