For two decades, Panasonic has been building cordless tools and components. The company's Predator cordless drills and Hyperformance tool series spread quickly from industrial users to serious hobbyists. The advanced technology and competitive prices of these award-winning tools make them a top pick of the professional and homeowner alike. A leader in NiMH (nickel metal hydrite) battery technology, Panasonic batteries are interchangeable within the same voltage. They're ... environmentally friendly and give more run time than ni-cad batteries. Panasonic cordless tools feature a high-inversion charging system, planetary gearing, and speed control via a unique feedback switch.

Jointly developed by Panasonic and Comcast, the AnyPlay P-DVR incorporates DVR functionality into a Panasonic portable DVD player with a built-in folding 8.5" LCD screen and speakers. When placed onto a companion docking station that functions as set-top box with tru2way technology inside, the AnyPlay P- DVR lets viewers watch and record up to 60 hours of their favorite programs. However, unlike a traditional set-top box, it can be used as a television with its built-in screen and can be taken out of its docking station, so recorded programs can be watched anywhere in or out of the home on the AnyPlay P-DVR. The portable device ... can playback DVDs and audio CDs.
