EXPERT REVIEW

DVD players are usually of the standard size and shape and that makes sleek and space conscious designs a welcome. Even I somehow am drawn to the contemporary design of players - be it the current DVDs or the old VCR/tape players. The DVD players we have today have been taken a step ahead in terms of design, all thanks to Samsung. The Samsung Pebble, Pebble reminds me of the Motorola PEBL phone and I tell you both the Pebble and the PEBL have something in common. They both look cute, if that's the best way to put it, but not too appealing in my view. However, on the other hand the Pebble does pack quite a good number of features, which makes me want to take a closer look. Is it just the looks or does it carry enough to actually steal the spot once occupied by any ordinary-looking DVD Player?

the final conclusion which i have forged out is you can get an seven inch high screen resolution portable dvd player in which all the above stuff is included along with a & inch portable quiet good screen as a bonus and more u have to pay is six to seven hundreed bucks ...so i dont think its worth the money ......
