Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
In theory an SD card could come preloaded with a movie (encrypted of course). The player could see these movies, and either decrypt them automatically, or ask the user for a code which does it. A user could backup these files if they wished since they're encrypted or wipe the SD entirely.
Unforunately such a thing already exists. DIVX certified players can play encrypted movies off DVD, USB, SD or whatever inputs the player has. Certified devices have a player key which the content must be encrypted to, but otherwise the principle is similar. The movie could be preloaded onto a USB key or SD slot, or be downloaded and copied onto the storage. Believe it or not, even the PS3 enables this. But it hasn't exactly taken off yet although some studios have signed content distribution deals. I don't see yet another variation on the idea doing any better.
There's also the fact that there is an already entrenched download model with apple/ipods, Xbox live's service and other devices out there to watch movies. This has to compete with each and every one of them and either it has to be compatible (fat chance) or end user has to buy yet another set top box or PMP or device to connect to my PMP to get this to work.
If Toshiba announced this and pushed for this back in 2003-2004, this would've been an incredible idea and would've been much more successful.
