LG Electronics Japan recently released the DP171 Portable DVD player.

The device comes a swivel-type LCD which allows viewing from 7 different angeles. Its also made especially for sharing and includes two headphone terminals.

Aside from DVDs (compatible with DVD -R, -RW, -R DL, +R and +RW) the DP171 can also play DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG Files.

Battery life is a meager 3.5 hours just enough for about 1-2 full length movies but it comes bundled with a car adapter for those long drives. Also part of the package are an AC Adapter and Slim card-type remote control.

As of press time the device is only available to the Japanese market for about 30,000 yen.
