Media players have evolved rapidly over the past few years. Initially, it was just the Betamax for watching movies and cassette tapes for listening to music. After a few years, the Betamax was replaced by a VCR that still uses tapes but you can record your favorite shows and movies.

The cassette tape player was replaced by the Discman or CD player. Record companies followed the manufacturer’s lead and started using CDs instead of tapes in producing music albums. Since it was very light and portable compared to the tapes where it consumes more space.

Seeing that the record companies are making more profit with the CDs, movie outfits decided to release VCD versions of their movies instead of the Betamax tapes. Taking this into account, companies like Sony, JVC, and Samsung have manufactured media players that will accommodate to this innovation.

Fast forward to the Twentieth Century, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and other manufacturing companies have now introduced their new baby – Blu-ray DVD Players. These players are not just any ordinary player, they have been manufactured to accommodate almost everything a consumer wants to have in his media player.

You can connect them to the internet so that you can watch video streaming; they have provided USB ports so that they can watch movies that were downloaded vide the internet and more.

Sony, being ahead of the game have launched a couple of blu-ray dvd players to the market giving the consumers a wide variety of choices to choose from. The latest being the bdp-s360. This is wifi-enabled giving its users the ability to surf the net while watching. Details on how to connect bdp-s360 to the internet is available online and on the manual enclosed with the product.

Now, can Samsung be left behind? Definitely not. They have introduced bd-p1600. Wanting to topple Sony from being the No. 1 in terms of providing quality media players, an infomercial was produced wherein users were given a preview on how to connect bd-p1600 to internet in just two clicks!

The evolution of these media players will continue as long as there are scientists or engineers that will continue to come up with ideas on how they can promote growth on their sales revenues and at the same time provide entertainment to the people.
