Sony's showing a portable DVD-ROM player. It's got a MPEG-2/AC-3 decoder in it................................................ ijumpstart.com Sony displayed a prototype portable DVD-ROM player, but executives would not commit to a ship date or pricing. Mike Williams, Sony multimedia marketing manager, said as a product it will include an MPEG-2 and AC-3 decoder within the small chassis, which measured less than 8 inches by 8 inches, and a SCSI port. Look for Sony to debut a portable DVD-Video first. Sony plans to ship a DVD+RW drive capable of writing to 3 GB later this year, but executives were tight-lipped about product details. Robert DeMoulin, Sony marketing manager, said the unit will ship for less than $1,000. He said the reason Sony is targeting a fall release is the company wants to build in backward compatibility for DVD-ROM into the drive. The company also is working to add DVD+RW read capability to its DVD-ROM drives. That feature will be included in drives, be they sold inside Sony PCs or in upgrade kits, in September or October.
