Stylish touchscreen mobile at an equally stylish price.
It's lacking WiFi, 3G, DivX and XviD playback.
This would be our "money no object" choice. Unfortunately, times are tight. Still, the Pioneer BDP-LX71 produces some of the best video and audio around.The heavyweight Pioneer BDP-LX71 costs big bucks (over half a grand), but that’s because it&rsqu...
