It might come as a surprise to most people when they see the Polaroid brand name slapped on a portable media player, but that is inevitable ever since the original company went bust and is now riding on its name to move products. The trio of portable media players include the MPA-20011, MPA-28216, and MPA-43315, where all but the MPA-20011 are WiFi-enabled. The MPA-20011 will be available in March for approximately $100 and supports MP3, WMA, JPEG, MPEG 4, and WMV formats. You can also add to the 1GB memory by slotting in additional microSD cards. For more details on the MPA-28216 and MPA-43315, kindly head on after the jump.
The MPA-28216 is definitely more powerful than the entry level MPA-20011, boasting a 30GB hard drive as well as a 2.8″ LCD display. In addition to the MPA-20011’s file format support, the MPA-28216 also offers AVI and DRM11-protected compatibility. With WiFi connectivity, you can hook up the MPA-28216 to the Polaroid DEC1000 media center. There will be two models available – with WiFi ($280) and without ($250).
The most high-end of the trio is the MPA-43315 that shares every the MPA-28216 has with the exception of a large 4.3″ LCD touchscreen display and a 40GB hard drive. As for pricing, the MPA-43315 also comes in non-WiFi ($250) and WiFi-enabled ($330) versions. Shipping for both the MPA-28216 and MPA-43315 will begin this fall.
