There have been many rumors lately about a potential video iPod that's around the corner... However, what about the existing mobile A/V solutions? We took the RCA Lyra RD2780 for a spin, the audio/video recorder/playback jukebox that's currently selling for only $219 at Geeks.com.

With Sony's PSP or any PocketPC machine around, why would I want a jukebox?. My Dell Axim lets me run Mpeg videos just fine (using the free MpegTV player).
The only one that will stand a chance in the video jukebox market is the video iPOD and because it's Apple. RCA, Creative, iRiver and other pretenders can just hope for a single digit market share.
It's like the iPOD market, Creative/RCA/iRiver added tons of features like FM, voice recording, broadcasting and bunch of formats like ogg, atrak, etc but they're going nowhere while the iPOD just keeps gaining marketshare because its Apple. I'm pretty sure if Apple sold iPod to HP or IBM, it would lose its charm and sex appeal in 20seconds. Apple was wise to sever the HP relationship because HP's got a old man smell about it.
