MP4 fans will appreciate the MT948B. A 1.3MP digital still and video camera, the 2.8” LCD touch screen unit is a full-function MP4 video player, with MP3/WMA audio playback. The BC119B ($24.99) and the BC219B ($29.99) portable boom boxes are for music fans on the go but wanting more functionality.

Both units have MP3 line input and the HM109B comes with a 3.5mm headset pin, while the HI209 has its own remote control for easy operation from across the room.

The two stylishly designed systems are perfect in any room and are both easily controlled with their own fullfeatured remote control.
