Reviews of the Philips DCP850 Docking Entertainment System

CNET Review
The Good: This portable DVD player incorporates a video iPod dock that allows you to play iPod videos on an 8.5-inch screen. It also has an SD card slot for movie and photo viewing, and it supports DivX video and MP3 CDs.
The Bad: The remote control can hardly command a docked iPod, and iPod menus are not displayed on the DCP850's screen. The tinny speakers aren't good for listening to music. The rechargeable battery isn't removable and only provides around 2.5 hours of DVD playback between charges.
The Bottom Line: The Philips DCP850 has plenty of appeal for video iPod users. It's among the first devices to combine an iPod dock with a portable DVD player, plus it offers good connectivity and supports useful media formats.
