Introduction

We've spent some time over the last month writing about the Microsoft Windows Media Center and the various products associated to it. From the MCE operating system to the Windows Media Center Extender products, it's been clear that Microsoft's vision for digital media is finally starting to mature. With the MCE OS, consumers can tap into existing digital media from various sources and use it to their hearts content. With the Media Center Extender, users can now take this media (most of it at least), and distribute it around the house using a network. Completing the grand digital media vision is the Microsoft Portable Media Center which allows you to take the various media files that you may have on the road with you. Various hardware manufacturers have released products based on the Portable Media Center (PMC). These include Creative, Samsung, and iRiver. Whether you agree or not with the vision of the Microsoft digital media plans, it's hard not to appreciate how easy it is to go from one system to another. Whether you're playing with a PMC, MCE, or MCX system, you'll be presented with a consistent user interface. You can watch your prerecorded TV shows on your television set via a MCE or MCX device or watch them on the train as you go to work with your PMC. Join us today as we take a look at the Samsung YH-999 Portable Media Center device.
