Everything about Portable Media Center totally explained

Portable Media Center (PMC) is a defunct hard drive-based portable media player (PMP) platform developed by Microsoft. Codenamed Media2Go, it was announced at the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and later rebranded as Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers. It runs on a specialized version of Windows Mobile, built with TinyCLR, a .NET framework. In 2007, Microsoft had discontinued licensing of the platform.
   PMCs were introduced at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show, with the announcement of Creative's Zen Portable Media Center.
   All PMCs are able to play audio files in MP3 and display images in JPEG. Also, they support Microsoft's proprietary formats: Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV). Other video formats will either be supported by each individual PMC, or transcoded though Windows Media Player. Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is used for transferring data.
   All players use a graphical user interface (GUI) modeled after Media Center, a software portal bundled with Windows XP Media Center Edition.
   Manufacturers include Creative, Philips, iriver, Samsung, and Toshiba. Microsoft's Zune also uses a modified version of Portable Media Center.
