The main menu on the Kula TV includes four touch-screen icons: Kula TV; Storage; Clock; and Settings. After pressing the TV-shaped Kula TV menu icon, you find a submenu of broadcast categories, such as recently watched, comedy, drama, news, children, shopping, and sports.

Measuring 5 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and 0.5 inch thick, the Kula TV's chunky, yet pocketable, form feels more like a portable GPS unit than a sexy portable media player.

The left edge of the Kula TV includes a headphone jack, MicroSD slot, a Mini-USB port for loading media, and a socket for the included power adapter, which is required for recharging the internal battery.

Controlling the volume of your headphones (or the internal speaker) is done with two physical buttons on the top of the device, located next to the power button.
