=== Hardware ===
[[File:IriverTD.jpg|center|thumb|400px|The [[iRiver]] SPINN portable media player features [[Samsung]] storage and a Telechips processor. It also features both a touchscreen and a click-wheel mechanism for navigation. The SPINN implements [[Haptic technology|haptic]] feedback by vibrating with user input. Additional hardware capabilities enable it to decode the [[MPEG-4 Part 2]] format and play back audio using [[SRS WOW]].]][[File:Noname MP3 player - case removed-6800.jpg|thumb|Interior of a small unbranded flash-based DAP]]

PMPs may come in different form factors such as portrait styled, landscape styled, or keydrive type. [[Modularity|Modular]] MP3 [[keydrive]] players are composed of two [[wiktionary:detachable|detachable]] parts: the head (or reader/writer) and the body (the memory). They can be independently obtained and upgradable (one can change the head or the body; i.e. to add more memory).Display sizes range all the way up to 7&nbsp;inches (18&nbsp;cm). Most screens come with a colour depth of 16-bit, but higher quality video-oriented devices may range all the way to 24-bit, otherwise known as [[24-bit color|true colour]], with the ability to display 16.7&nbsp;million distinct colours. Screens commonly have a matte finish but may also come in glossy to increase colour intensity and contrast. More and more devices are now also coming with touch screen as a form of primary or alternate input. This can be for convenience and/or aesthetic purposes. Certain devices, on the other hand, have no screen whatsoever, reducing costs at the expense of ease of browsing through the media library.
