Tatung V620: Second Gen PMC

BargainPDA has details about the upcoming Tatung V620, a Microsoft Portable Media Center-compatible device that will be released in the US (unlike most other Tatung products). The V620 is smaller than most other PMCs (except the Samsung YH-999 it seems to me), but is most interesting as a second-generation PMC device, which means it will play other video formats beyond WMV, like DivX. The reason the PMC platform has failed (by my reckoning, at least) is that it's dumb to buy video players that only play one format, especially when non-Microsoft-branded models play almost anything you can throw at them. The Windows Media Center integration, however, is a nice feature, so if the 2nd gen PMCs can do all that and more, they'll be worth considering again.
