Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Sporting a unique clamshell design that's easily portable and protects the screen from bumps, the TAVi 030 (TAVI020-30G) is the world's smallest, most compact PMC (Portable Media Center) with an integrated 3.5-inch LCD screen. It features 30 GB of storage, and enables you to take a wide assortment of video, music, still images, and e-books with you wherever you may roam. It weighs just under 9 ounces and sits comfortably in your hand. It has a nicely long battery life of 10.5 hours of continuous audio play or 5.5 hours for video playback.
It's compatible with MP3, WMA, Egg Vorbis, AC3, and AAC audio files, and it can play Divx 3.11/4/5, XviD, MPEG1 (VCD), MPEG2 (DVD), MPEG4 (WMV and ASF: transcoding software) video file formats. The 3.5-inch LCD screen has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution and displays up to 16.7 million colors. In bright surroundings TAVI instantly adjusts to a brighter screen; when it gets dark, TAVI dims automatically. It includes built-in stereo speakers.
In addition to music and movies, the TAVi 030 also has a digital FM tuner (with record function), voice recorder (via built-in micorophone), and direct line-in recording from audio sources like CD players, turntables, and cassette decks (records in MP3, encoded up to 128 Kbps). You can show off your latest photo slideshows (compatible with JPEG and BMP files) complemented with a background music soundtrack, and also easily read e-books with the Auto-Read scrolling function. Additionally, it offers USB host support, enabling you to connect external devices such as digital cameras or other MP3 players directly to the unit for easy transfer of music, images and other data files without the need for a PC.
It connects to PCs using a super-fast USB 2.0 connection and it's compatible with Microsoft Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, and XP operating systems as well as Mac OS and Linux. It is not compatible with secure/DRM WMA content from online stores or subscription services. Other features include:

The best in class,
This review is from: TAVi 30 GB Portable Multimedia Center (Electronics)
This is without a doubt the best portable media player. I have had others without the clamshell design where the screens got scratched. And with kids doing most of the watching and handling this will happen about 100% of the time. With the Tavi the picture and the sound quality are fantastic. The kids have sat spellbound for a 3 hr car trip watching a movie in the backseats. The downloading of the movies into the Tavi is straightforward and easy with the preloaded software. The Tavi is the best in class.

One of the best PMPs on the market,
By paratty (Castro Valley, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TAVi 30 GB Portable Multimedia Center (Electronics)
I already own 4 different PMPs. This one is my favorite. It's compact size
makes it convienient to carry around. The picture quality is excellent. The speaker is loud enough to use all the time even with the radio. I've used the text reader to read .txt files with no problem. The only problem I've had is with the charger ... it burns hot & part of the case melted, so it no longer works .... the support staff leaves alot to be desired. The good news is that this can be recharged through the USB port which is a far more attractive alternative for me. The only improvement I'd make is to have a larger drive.

Great MP3 Player,
By
This review is from: TAVi 30 GB Portable Multimedia Center (Electronics)
The sound from the music is very nice, however my $90 RCA Lyra also has great sound for music.
According to the instructions, video is drag and drop. None of the video formats I have, from converted movies to AVI to simple avi movies taken with a family camera work. No wmv, no video is recognized by the device. The myTAVI desktop is confusing, I have no idea what it is trying to do, but whatever it is, nothing is going from or to my TAVI from the myTAVI desktop. I have uninstalled it because it makes no sense. If you are looking for a company that supports it's devices, forget it. The have a cryptic FAQ that does not handle the questions, a discussion thread that is no help and they have not responded to three days worth of email. I am very impressed by the potential for this device, but very disappointed in the reality. Save your money until they get it right, or go out of business.
