Shopping for a Region-Free Portable DVD Player

We live in Japan and in addition to a new laptop, I'm looking to buy a portable region-free DVD player for my 2 young kids to use at home and while traveling. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for me regarding what to get.

Here's some information:

*I don't want to spend more than $100 (including shipping if possible)
*they are expensive in Japan -- buying them abroad can be worse with the cost of shipping
*however, will be meeting a family member coming from Canada next month and could have an item shipped to that person's house so they could bring it to us in their carry-on baggage
*a small screen size (7") is fine because it is for travel, while at home can be hooked up to a TV
*battery life is important - would like 4 hours or more if possible or else be able to use an extra battery

If anyone has experience with these portable players, I appreciate any suggestions.
 
Micro Express NBL60

:PMicro Express:P ships this lightweight, unassuming-looking, 15-inch laptop with a robust feature set and a moderate price. The $1199 unit boasts an Intel Core i7-620M high-end dual core CPU under the hood, switchable graphics, an 80GB Intel X25M solid-state drive, and 4GB of DDR3-1066 memory.:)
 
Apricorn Aegis NetDock:

:PThe packaging for the Apricorn Aegis :PNetDock docking station ($89, as of 7/6/2010) only implies that there's an optical drive on board. But don't be fooled: Not only is there one--an 8X TEAC DV-W28S-V DVD burner in this case--but four USB 2.0 ports as well. Two of these ports remain powered even when the unit isn't attached to a computer, so you can charge cell phones and other mobile devices with them. It's this versatility that helps make the NetDock a useful add-on for laptop and netbook users who may find themselves without such amenities
