Wolverine Data has introduced its ESP — a portable multimedia player that’s Mac and PC-compatible. It plays music and video, displays pictures and more. It’s available in 80GB and 120GB models for $399.99 and $499.99, respectively.

The Wolverine ESP features a 3.6-inch TFT LCD display and weights 10.2 ounces. It features a built-in 7-in-1 flash media card reader that makes it compatible with CompactFlash, MicroDrive, Secure Digital, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and XD Card formats.

The Wolverine connects to a Mac or PC using USB 2.0, and can display JPEG, BMP, TIFF, text or RAW images. It can also play back MPEG-1, MPEG-4, WMV-9 and XviD-encoded video files. It can play MP3, WMA, WAV, unprotected AAC and CDA audio formats. It also features a built-in AM/FM radio.

An optional $79.99 ESP Cradle enables the device to record video directly from TVs, DVD players, VCRs and other analog video sources.

The ESP comes with a replaceable lithium ion battery, AC charger, USB cable, auxiliary cable, earphone, carrying case and documentation.
