PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER


A portable multimedia player (PMP),
is a consumer electronics device that is capable of storing and playing digital media. Digital audio players (DAP) that can also display images and play videos are PMPs. Like DAPs, the data is typically stored on a hard drive, microdrive, or flash memory. Other types of electronic devices like cellphones are sometimes referred as PMPs because of their playback capabilities.

The launching of notable players and any milestones or breakthroughs.In 2002, Archos first widely sold a portable media player, the Archos Jukebox Multimedia.Manufacturers have since implemented abilities to view images and play videos into their devices.In 2004, Microsoft attempted to take advantage of the growing PMP market by launching the Portable Media Center (PMC) platform. It was introduced at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show with the announcement of the Zen Portable Media Center,which was co-developed by Creative. The Microsoft Zune series would later be based on the Gigabeat S, one of the PMC-implemented players.

Creative ZEN PMPs are capable of playing digital audio, images, and video. Usually, a colour LCD or OLED screen is used as a display. Various players include the ability to record video, usually with the aid of optional accessories or cables, and audio, with a built-in microphone or from a line-out cable or FM tuner.
