Las Vegas--On the CES show floor, Apex showed off the latest versions of products of its small, sleek E2Go line of portable media. The MP6500 portable media player was the newest on the roster, sporting a 6.5`` screen and a white exterior that seems to be a nod to the Apple iPod generation. The unit is nowhere near pocket sized, but still small enough to throw into a backpack or briefcase before hitting the road. And, it comes with a flip-out stand on back for upright viewing.

The PMP sports a 20 GB harddrive and supports a variety of audio and video formats, including MP3, MPEG4, Quicktime, WMA, WMV and DivX. The unit allows users to transfer files from a computer and can record TV shows directly to a MPEG4 format.
