What is the best way to enjoy anime on the go?

What is the best way to enjoy anime on the go? I was looking at several different personal video players but all of them seem to require the user to recompress his/her videos first. That is a hassle if you have a large series that you want to take with you. I was hoping that Archos or Creative had something that could handle DIVX, XVID, MKV, and/or OGM natively but that seems like a pipe dream at this time. Are there any other options other than getting myself a laptop?

The main thing that I was asking for was something that
DOES NOT REQUIRE RECOMPRESSION.

I figured as much. I was just hoping that someone that is more tech savy than me would know if something like what I am looking for actually exists.

The Creative Zen M MP3 player plays videos and supports formats like DivX, XviD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG4, as well as AVI. I put some fansubs on it and I can actually read them and the picture is fairly decent. And 90% you don't need any recompression, though it takes some time to put whole episodes on, but AMVs go on faster and are what I primarily have on it.

There is a recent cdplayer out that has dvd on it that can read dvd's as well as cd's. It's no bigger than your normal cd player and runs 110 bucks.

I remember paying $129 for a CD player with an LCD display... Now I am starting to sound like an old man.
