Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit

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."

Sega Game Gear had a TV Tuner years ago, and so did the nomad.

As did GameXPress (portable TG16).

There's a tuner for the GBA, and one for GBC, IIRC.

Why is it so difficult or fantastic to add one to a PDA?

It hardly seems worth it to me, unless they can shrink down a DirecTV dish or it comes with a huge spool of coax cable. Free to air TV is slowly being driven out of existence.

HDTV (digital signals) will put the final nail in it's coffin, when the slightly-fuzzy-but-watchable analog channel turns into a skipping jerky unwatchable slideshow. I think we all recognize the difference between a weak analog signal and a weak digital one.
