Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-to-lust-after dept.

ChowderGiggler writes "It seems like simply a picture, but there is a page at PocketPCMinds.com which shows a prototype Sony Memory Stick TV Tuner. This really has some cool applications especially if it gets ported to the Memory Stick Duo which is used in Smartphones like the Sony-Ericsson P800."

    From the picture here it looks like it is a Duo. Not really sure what the difference is, though.

    But: Bad news

  3. This was just a mock up prototype by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    This was just a mock up prototype shown at CeBit and not an actual working device. It is also shown in the MS Duo format, but sony has been showing off these kind of memory stick mock ups for years. While it was a non working model, sony has developed the chips in a size that would make this feasible, only problem is battery draw. There arw more specs on the device here.

    Sorry to disappoint.

    "Memory Stick TV Tuner Still a Dream

    At CEBIT last week, Sony showed off what appeared to be a Memory Stick TV tuner for the CLIE

    It turns out that what appeared to be a TV Tuner was really a concept design and not a real Memory Stick Tuner. Sony has no immediate plans to create such as device. "

    Nice desing, with a little bit of plaster I can do a lot of thing !
