CyberHome HD-4000 and HD-7000: 4-inch and 7-inch PMPs

While CyberHome is hyping their new HD-4000 and HD-7000 PMPs as being able to output 1080i video, what really makes these interesting to us is the display size. After all, the only way you're going to get 1080i out of one of these is with an external HD display, and chances are, that's not the main reason you're going to pick up a PMP (that first P does stand for something, right?). On the other hand, the fact that the HD-7000 will have a 7-inch display definitely piques our interest. After all, in this era of shrinking portable video players — some sporting screens as small as 1 inch — it's nice to see that someone is moving in the other direction and coming out with a player that sports a screen we might actually be able to look at for more than 10 minutes at a time without causing permanent retinal damage. Just don't call it HD.
