Intel is developing a portable video recorder/player that can store up to 70 hours of movies and other programs. Calling it "an MP3 player for video," an Intel spokesman said Tuesday that users would be able to download programming from either a computer or a personal video recorder. Intel declined to provide further information about the technology that would make such a device possible.

Look for the officials from the Motion Picture Ass. of America to try to block this technology in the name of "protecting" consumers from themselves.
