Panasonic launches in-car Blu-ray player

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 20 Aug 2009 11:25 User comments (14)

Panasonic launches in-car Blu-ray player Panasonic has introduced the first in-car Blu-ray player today in Japan, dubbed the CY-BB1000D, which includes a 1280x720 resolution 7-inch screen that will playback Blu-ray films in 720p.
The player supports Bonus View features but not BD-Live as there is no active way to connect to the Internet.

The CY-BB1000D will hit Japan next month and will sell for about $1060 USD. There was no word on a NA or EU release.

This would be great if it was affordable, and it didn't have a screen...I'd buy this and a bluray burner for the ability to put 50GB of mp3s on one disk...that's my whole collection at maximum quality, times two or three.

$1000 Bucks you might as well just get a laptop with BD Rom in and duct tape it to the dash.

You will even get wifi then :-p

Duct tape it to the dash, darn it, I wish I'd thought of that. Now I have to take out the nails.

Is it even practical? I mean, you will still be watching it on a small screen. If my upconverted DVD's look nice on my 32" HDTV, I don't think you will appreciate the difference on a small screen.

Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
