Multimedia
Your Pandroid makes a great portable entertainment centre. It includes
a media player for music and sound files with a decoder for MP3, wave
(WAV) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files, and a Video Player for
MP4, MPEG1 and MPEG2 or 3GP (mobile phone) files. It also includes
a built-in voice recorder for dictation and notes, an image gallery feature
and USB and SD card ports to make it easy to transfer files. The media
player is designed so it can run in the background while you use the Pan
-
droid for other things, as well as taking centre stage! It is very easy to use.
