You can play and record videos, view pictures, and listen to MP3's. You can also use it as a USB storage device. This is an awesome unit which comes in handy if you travel a bit. It kept me entertained as I would record all my favorite shows the night before on and watch them on the GO bus into TO or flights. You can also purchase a FM transmitter that will broadcast your MP3s to you cars radio on an unassigned FM station. This unit is a 20 gig model which I'm looking to get $510 or I'll upgrade it to a 40 gig for $560 or 60 gig for $590.Here are the detailed specs of the unit;
