One Video Player for Both the Car and On the Go

Slapping DVD players on the backs of the headrests in your car is the fastest way to pacify your kids on long car trips, which explains why those things are so popular these days. Watching movies on portable devices on the subway or in the waiting room at the dentist is also getting more popular. You could get two separate devices for these two activities if you don’t mind throwing money away. Or, like a smart shopper, you could get one gadget that does both.

This Philips PET-1030 10.2″ Portable DVD Player is just such a gadget. It’s a portable DVD player with a nice, big 10.2-inch screen, so you can watch movies wherever you go. You can bring it with you to the dentist, on an airplane, or anywhere else you’d want portable video. In addition, it can be mounted on the back of a seat in your car to give you an in-car entertainment system with no installation and for a fraction of the price of other setups. It’s the best of both worlds.
