Samsung DVD Jr

We don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but this could provide Desperate Housewives like Lynette Scavo a weapon to plug her twins in and keep them in check. Samsung's DVD Jr is a handheld mini DVD player designed for kids under age 15. Bundled with Warner Home Video, the company distributing titles such as Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban and Scooby-Doo, this device is outfitted with a 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen and offers up to 2.5 hours of playback time. The catch is DVD Jr reads only specially made 3-inch mini DVD discs. But that might be a small price to pay for a wee moment's peace.

Price: US$149.99; discs are from US$9.98-24.98
Availability: The US
Device: DVD player
Basic specs: Supports MP3 files and JPEG images, 2.5 hours playback on included Ni-MH batteries, adapter, DV power jack, built-in headphone jack
